چکیده

PURPOSE To evaluate the accuracy and biological basis for [(11)C]choline-PET-CT in the nodal staging of high risk localized prostate cancer patients. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Twenty-eight patients underwent dynamic [(11)C]choline-PET-CT of the pelvis and lower abdomen prior to extended laparoscopic pelvic lymph node dissection (eLPL). The sensitivity and specificity of [(11)C]choline PET, [(11)C]choline PET-CT, and MRI for nodal detection were calculated. Average and maximal standardized uptake values (SUV(ave), SUV(max)) were compared with choline kinase alpha (CHKα) and Ki67 immunohistochemistry scores. RESULTS Four hundred and six lymph nodes (LN), in 26 patients, were assessable. Twenty-seven (6.7%) involved pelvic nodes at eLPL were detected in 9 patients. Seventeen of the 27 involved nodes were subcentimeter. The sensitivity and specificity on a per nodal basis were 18.5% and 98.7%, 40.7% and 98.4%, and 51.9% and 98.4% for MRI, [(11)C]choline PET, and [(11)C]choline PET-CT, respectively. Sensitivity was higher for [(11)C]choline PET-CT compared with MRI (P = 0.007). A higher nodal detection rate, including subcentimeter nodes, was seen with [(11)C]choline PET-CT than MRI. Malignant lesions showed CHKα expression in both cytoplasm and nucleus. SUV(ave) and SUV(max) strongly correlated with CHKα staining intensity (r = 0.68, P < 0.0001 and r = 0.63, P = 0.0004, respectively). In contrast, Ki67 expression was generally low in all tumors. CONCLUSION This study establishes the relationship between [(11)C]choline PET-CT uptake with choline kinase expression in prostate cancer and allows it to be used as a noninvasive means of staging pelvic LNs, being highly specific and more sensitive than MRI, including the detection of subcentimeter disease.

Tiny Obturator Node Metastasis from Prostate Cancer Not Shown by FDG-PET/CT, CT, or MRI Detected by 11C-Choline PET/CT

We report a 65-year-old male with histopathologically proven prostate cancer and multiple pelvic node metastases using a robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy procedure plus extended pelvic lymph node dissection. Positron emission tomography (PET) scan findings demonstrated a moderate accumulation of 11C-choline in a metastatic left obturator node sized 8 × 8 mm, though only a faint uptake of ...

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...

Preoperative staging of pelvic lymph nodes in prostate cancer by 11C-choline PET.

UNLABELLED Prostate cancer is known for its difficulties in preoperative staging of pelvic lymph nodes by conventional imaging techniques. Thus, a histopathologic examination of the pelvic lymphadenectomy specimen is mandatory for patients at risk for metastatic disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the strength and accuracy of (11)C-choline PET in preoperative noninvasive staging of p...

PURPOSE To compare the detection efficacy of 11C-choline positron emission tomography and computed tomography (PET/CT) with whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) including diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in patients with suspected recurrent prostate cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty-seven patients (mean age 68, range 54-80 years) underwent 11C-choline PET/CT and MRI using T1-weighted...
