This is a single site, prospective pilot study to determine the feasibility and safety of the administration of HP 13C bicarbonate in 10 patients with prostate cancer to determine potential hydrogen (pH) values in surrounding tissue. The proposed study will evaluate pre-surgical participants with histologically confirmed localized prostate cancer who receive infusion of hyperpolarized 13C injection prior to MR imaging with endorectal coil.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To determine the feasibility of tumor pH measurement in men with prostate cancer using hyperpolarized 13C bicarbonate imaging. SECONDARY OBJECTIVE: I. To determine the safety of administration of hyperpolarized 13C-bicarbonate. EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES: I. To correlate the measurement of tissue pH with pathologic grade. II. To correlate tissue pH maps with immunohistochemistry staining (IHC), gene expression (RNA-Seq), and spatial transcriptomics. \*Bristol Myers Squibb (BMS) collaboration OUTLINE: Men with biopsy-proven adenocarcinoma of the prostate scheduled to u…
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patients age \>=18 years. 2. Patients must have biopsy-proven adenocarcinoma of the prostate; biopsy may be performed outside of University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) if detailed results of sextant biopsy are available. 3. Tumor size of at least 1.0 cm in long axis on Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or ultrasound; if no prior imaging is available, at least 3 cores positive on biopsy. 4. Patients must have planned radical prostatectomy at UCSF within 12 weeks following protocol MRI/ magnetic resonance spectroscopy imaging) (MRSI). 5. Eastern Cooperative Oncolog…
