An exploratory, feasibility and proof-of-concept study to evaluate the capability of a rectal probe scintigraphy device (ProxiScanTM) to detect PSMA specific radiopharmaceutical agent (ProstaScint®; as a surrogate marker for prostate cancer) in patients who have undergone a radical prostatectomy for their disease, patients with multiple negative prostate biopsies and patients with known primary prostate cancer. Developed by Hybridyne Imaging Technologies, Inc. ProxiScanTM is a small cadmium zinc telluride (CST)-based compact gamma camera. It is the same size as a trans-rectal ultrasound (TRUS), currently used for prostate biopsy guidance. Men with multiple positive biopsies will be considered controls. Prostate cancer sextant biopsy histology results will be correlated with ProxiScanTM, TRUS, MRI and SPECT/CT. The investigators hypothesize that it will be safe and feasible to utilize a rectal probe scintigraphy (ProxiScanTM) to detect PSMA specific ProstaScint®, thus identifying and localizing the tumour sites within the prostate and surrounding areas.

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.
Inclusion criteria
Group 1: Rising PSA (biochemical failure) following radical prostatectomy. Group 2: Rising PSA (>10ng/ml) and/or abnormal digital rectal exam suspicious for prostate cancer. Previously negative prostate biopsies.
Group 3: Scheduled biopsy for known PCa (patient on AS). At least 1 previously positive prostate biopsy for adenocarcinoma of the prostate.
Patients must meet all of the following inclusion criteria to be eligible for enrollment into the study:
Exclusion criteria
The presence of any of the following will exclude a patient from study enrollment:
ProxiScan probe will be coupled with ProstaScint (a radioactive tracer) and used to perform imaging to detect small lesions in the pelvis that will otherwise be hard to detect with conventional imaging modalities.
Used as a comparative to ProxiScan.
Used as a comparative to ProxiScan.
Time frame: Within 2 days of imaging.
Identification of tumour and/or tumour recurrence in the pelvis with imaging.
