Study Summary

The purpose of this research study is to learn about: 1) How standard radiation treatment to prostate (primary radiotherapy) or the pelvis after prostatectomy (postoperative radiotherapy) may cause changes in MRI and PET imaging traits that might be used in the future to predict response. 2) Comparison of such MRI and PET imaging traits with the number of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) present in the blood prior to treatment and the changes in these counts after treatment. 3) How MRI and PET imaging characteristics and changes are related to the expression of genes in the cancer tissue obtained before treatment from prostate biopsy or a prior prostatectomy before treatment. 4) How the response of prostate cancer treatment relates to the imaging and CTC changes.

Primary Outcome

Pre-Treatment and Post-Treatment quantitative imaging parameters will be associated with circulating tumor cell (CTC) changes over time in prostate cancer (PCa) patients who receive treatment with RT ± androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) or prostatectomy per standard of care. CTC and quantitative imaging changes will be determined at each of the planned research acquisition time points (8 days prior to completion of radiation therapy (RT), 3 months post-RT, 9 months post-RT, and 2-2.5 years post-
