Prostate Hyperfixation on PET-choline in Patients With Prostate Cancer: Correlation With MRI and Pathological Data (LOC-CHOLINE)

In France, when prostate cancer is suspected, multiparametric MRI is the reference imaging technique for tumor localization, and is used to guide biopsies in order to characterize the tumor as accurately as possible. Under the hypothesis that 18 F-choline PET-CT is not inferior to MRI in localizing intra-prostate tumor foci, and could provide complementary data for biopsy, the localizing performance of these two imaging modalities is compared retrospectively, in patients with newly diagnosed prostate tumor treated by surgery.
