Usefulness of F-Choline Positron Emission Tomography - Computed Tomography in the therapeutic management of patients with biochemical recurrence of prostate adenocarcinoma treated with brachytherapy.

Objective: The objective of the study was to evaluate the usefulness of 18F-choline PET/CT in biochemically recurrent prostate cancer patients treated with brachytherapy, as well as to assess the changes in therapeutic management derived from its outcome.

Material And Methods: Retrospective study of 20 patients between 51 and 78 years old, with a history of prostate adenocarcinoma that had been treated with brachytherapy and presented biochemical recurrence (PSA 3.1-12 ng/ml) and staging tests (CT and bone scan) without alterations, were included.
