Summary

Among all the patients who underwent PET/CT with choline at our Institute between 2004 and 2007 to restage the prostatic disease following biochemical recovery of the disease, in this retrospective study the patients previously treated with radical prostatectomy, who present a progressive increase in the PSA value in the absence of hormone therapy and of which there is knowledge of the main clinical and follow-up data, with particular attention to survival data.

The PET/CT study with Choline, being part of the normal standard diagnostic work-up of patients, was performed following the normal clinical protocol. With the retrospective analysis of the data, the time elapsed following the prostatectomy operation and the follow-up time after the Choline PET/CT study will be evaluated and patients who died due to prostate cancer will therefore be considered. Prostate cancer-specific survival, calculated as the interval between radical prostatectomy and death due to prostate cancer, will be used as the end point. The differences between prostate cancer-specific survival of patients with a positive choline PET/CT study and patients with a negative choline PET/CT study will be evaluated (log-rank test). Choline PET/CT will be considered positive if pathological findings with significant tracer uptake are identified. In the subpopulation of patients with a positive Choline PET/CT study, survival data will also be evaluated in relation to the site of positivity of the PET/CT study, in particular at the level of local recurrence, in the lymph node or skeletal site.
