The purpose of the study is to provide pilot data on the clinical situations in which ordering a 18F-DCFPyL positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) was thought to be clinically useful, and to document how the results of the 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT affected patient management. The results of this study could then serve as a guide to help OHIP to consider these scenarios when deciding the precise indications for funded 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT scans in the future. In this study the investigators will image subjects with prostate cancer using 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT and record how the result of the study affected patient management.
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
12
* A bolus of less than or equal to 9 mCi (333 MBq) of 18F-DCFPyL will be injected IV by slow IV push. * After administration of the 18F-DCFPyL the line will be flushed with saline (0.9% w/v). * Subjects should be encouraged to drink up to 500 mL of water shortly after the administration of 18F-DCFPyL. * At 60-minutes (± 10 minutes) after administration of 18F-DCFPyL, the PET/CT scan will be acquired with the subject in the supine position and the FOV including the mid-thighs to skull base.

RECRUITINGTo acquire pilot data on the use of 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT following conventional imaging (CT and bone scan) for the detection of metastases in men with prostate cancer
To acquire pilot data on the use of 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT following conventional imaging (CT and bone scan) for the detection of metastases in men with prostate cancer when: 1. The CT scan shows indeterminate lymph node(s) in the pelvis that could potentially be treated radically with radiotherapy if found to be positive on 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT; 2. The subject is suspected to have oligometastatic disease (\< 4 sites of disease) that could potentially be treated with stereotactic/ radical doses of radiotherapy.
Time frame: 1 year
To acquire pilot data comparing the number and location of metastatic lesions on 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT with standard of care imaging (CT and bone scan).
Time frame: 1 year
To acquire pilot data on the change in management plans resulting from 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT compared with standard of care imaging (CT and bone scan).
