| Main Objective: 1. to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy ?in terms of sensitivity, specificity and accuracy- of PET-TC with [18F]Fluoroethyilcholine ([18F]FECh) in: a. patients with known prostate cancer, in whom 18F]FECh PET-TC is performed to evaluate loco-regional or distant disease extension (staging); b. patients previously treated for prostate cancer who present at follow-up elevated PSA levels, in whom 18F]FECh PET-TC is performed to localize the neoplastic lesions; 2. to evaluate the additional role of PET-TC with [18F]FECh with respect to the other diagnostic imaging techniques that are routinely used such as ultrasonography with trans-rectal probe, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance (MR) and bone scintigraphy.;Secondary Objective: is to perform dosimetric evaluation of [18F]FECh in a group of patients with prostate cancer.;Primary end point(s): nd | — |
