PET Acetate for Castrate-Resistant Prostate Cancer on Chemotherapy

Summary

One purpose of this research study is to examine if a special type of imaging test, a positron emission tomography (PET) scan using the radioactive material \[C-11\] acetate, will be helpful in detecting prostate cancer lesions in subjects with castrate-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). This PET scan will be combined with a computed tomography (CT) scan taken during the same imaging session. The other purpose of the PET-CT scan using \[C-11\] acetate (PET Acetate Scan) is to assist in identifying who is responding to the treatment (docetaxel chemotherapy).
