Pilot Study of 68Gallium PSMA-PET/CT in Patients With Metastatic Urothelial Carcinoma or Melanoma
The purpose of this study is to see whether 68Gallium PSMA-PET/CT scans are an effective way to detect sites of cancer in people with metastatic bladder cancer or skin cancer. The study researchers want to learn if a 68Gallium PSMA PET/CT scan will work better, the same, or not as well as the PET/CT scans doctors usually use for imaging bladder cancer or skin cancer (FDG-PET/CT scan).
• Patients with histologically confirmed metastatic urothelial carcinoma with extrapelvic nodal and/or visceral sites of disease (including lung, liver, bone, or soft tissue)
• At least 3 lesions assessable by FDG PET/CT according to RECIST and PERCIST guidelines where applicable, that are determined suspicious for metastasis by an MSKCC attending radiologist or nuclear medicine physician.
• Karnofsky performance status ≥50% (or ECOG/WHO ≤2)
• Participant is ≥18 years of age
• Patient must be able to understand and is willing to sign a written informed consent document
• Patients with histologically confirmed metastatic melanoma
• At least 1 metastatic lesion assessable by CT or FDG PET/CT according to RECIST that is determined to be suspicious for metastasis by an MSKCC attending radiologist or nuclear medicine physician
• ECOG \<= 2
• Participant is \>= 18 years of age
• Patient must be able to understand and is willing to sign a written informed consent document
