111-In-capromab pendetide imaging using hybrid-γ camera-computer tomography technology is not reliable in detecting seminal vesicle invasion in patients with prostate cancer.

Objectives: In this study, we evaluate the diagnostic utility of a hybrid γ-camera-computer tomography (SPECT-CT) indium-111 (111-In)-capromab pendetide scan in detecting seminal vesicle invasion (SVI) in select patients evaluated for primary surgical treatment of prostate cancer (CaP).

Methods And Materials: We retrospectively analyzed a prospective database of patients who underwent preoperative SPECT-CT imaging with 111-In-capromab-pendetide as part of a staging evaluation who were subsequently treated with radical surgery in our center. Only patients with clinically localized disease were included.
