Evaluation of Prostate Cancer with 11C-Choline PET/CT for Treatment Planning, Response Assessment, and Prognosis.

چکیده
The aim of this review is to report on the value of 11C-choline PET imaging as a diagnostic procedure for metastasis-directed therapies. Furthermore, the role of 11C-choline PET/CT as a diagnostic tool for monitoring castration-resistant prostate cancer patients treated with systematic therapy is assessed. Finally, the role of 11C-choline PET/CT in the prediction of survival in both castration-resistant prostate cancer patients and hormone-naïve patients is investigated.

Evaluation of Prostate Cancer with 11C- and 18F-Choline PET/CT: Diagnosis and Initial Staging.
Early diagnosis and adequate staging are crucial for the choice of adequate treatment in prostate cancer (PC). Morphologic and functional imaging modalities, such as CT and MRI, have had limited accuracy in the diagnosis and nodal staging of PC. Molecular PET/CT imaging with 11C- or 18F-choline-labeled derivatives is increasingly being used, but its role in the diagnosis and initial staging of ...
متن کاملSingle Orbital Metastasis in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer
Introduction: Orbital metastasis of prostate cancer (PC) is very rare and even more unique in castration-resistant PC (CRPC). In this scenario, choline positron emission tomography/computed tomography (choline PET/CT) is the gold-standard restaging method of choice available in our setting, and new anti-androgens treatments show improvement in overall survival. Case presentation: We report the...

Choline is a new positron emission tomography (PET) tracer useful for detection of prostate cancer and metastatic lesions. We report a 70-year-old man with prostate cancer and multiple abdominal, pelvic, and inguinal node metastases. PET scans demonstrated accumulation of 11C-choline in the primary tumor and lymph node metastases but no accumulation of 18F-FDG. Choline PET/computed tomography m...
متن کاملProstate cancer: PET with 18F-FDG, 18F- or 11C-acetate, and 18F- or 11C-choline.
Prostate cancer is biologically and clinically a heterogeneous disease that makes imaging evaluation challenging. The role of imaging in prostate cancer should include diagnosis, localization, and characterization (indolent vs. lethal) of the primary tumor, determination of extracapsular spread, guidance and evaluation of local therapy in organ-confined disease, staging of locoregional lymph no...
