Brief Summary:
Nodal involvement among patients with prostate cancer is known to be a poor prognostic factor. Traditionally, the presence or absence of nodal disease in patients with prostate cancer is ascertained with the use of anatomical imaging methods such as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
However, the sensitivities of CT and MRI for the detection of pelvic nodal disease is rather low, with reports placing the value to lie between 50-80%.
Positron emission tomography (PET) with the use of carbon-11 or fluorine-18 tagged choline (Choline-PET) is an approach which is known to deliver a high sensitivity for the imaging of prostate cancer disease burden in the primary, nodal and the metastatic areas.
The investigators in this prospective trial intend to utilize Choline-PET among all newly diagnosed patients of prostate cancer who are presumed to be non-N1 (absence of nodal disease on conventional imaging) and non-M1 (absence of metastatic disease on conventional imaging).
