Abstract:
In patients with bladder cancer (BCa) preoperative staging with (11)C-choline positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET/CT) could be used to derive prognostic information and hence stratify patients preoperatively with respect to disease management.From June 2004 to May 2007, 44 patients with localized BCa were staged with (11)C-choline PET/CT before radical cystectomy. The results of imaging were correlated to overall survival (OS) and cumulative incidence of cancer-specific death (...     »
