First Results of [<sup>11</sup>C]choline PET/CT-Guided Secondary Lymph Node Surgery in Patients with PSA Failure and Single Lymph Node Recurrence after Radical Retropubic Prostatectomy

Abstract

In this small selected collective [(11)C]choline PET/CT achieved reliable results. After resection of single LNM in all patients the oncologic criteria of a remission were fulfilled. Three of 6 patients had a complete PSA remission without adjuvant therapy. Whether cure or a positive influence on the course of disease can be achieved in individual patients has to be shown in further studies.
