[18F]choline positron emission tomography in prostate cancer patients with biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy: influence of antiandrogen therapy – a preliminary study

OBJECTIVEOur purpose was to evaluate whether antiandrogen therapy (AAT) influences [F]choline PET results in patients with biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy (RPE). METHODSThrough a retrospective study we evaluated two groups of patients, both with histologically proven carcinoma of...
