| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: ?To evaluate the accuracy of 18F-FACBC PET/CT for preoperative lymph node staging in moderate to high risk prostate cancer patients who are already scheduled for prostatectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection;Secondary Objective: •To evaluate 18F-FACBC performance respect to standard clinical predictive factors of disease (e.g. age, psa, gleason score,tumor stage, choline PET/CT results). •To calculate 18F-FACBC sensitivity and specificity ;Primary end point(s): ?To evaluate the accuracy of 18F-FACBC PET/CT for preoperative lymph node staging in moderate to high risk prostate cancer patients who are already scheduled for prostatectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 2 months | — |
