The utility of the [18]F fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography ([18]F FDG PET-CT) marker for breast cancer is well established. Given its limitations in localizing FDG-negative malignant tumors, the expression of [18]F-fluorocholine ([18]-FCH) may potentially be helpful to improve the overall accuracy in evaluating breast cancer. This study determined the potential of [18]- FCH PET CT as a potential marker in assessing breast cancer phenotypes.

Our aim was to assess the role of positron emission computed tomography (PET/CT) with 18F-choline (18F-FCH) or 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) submitted to 90Y-radioembolization (90Y-TARE). We retrospectively analyzed clinical records of 21 HCC patients submitted to PET/CT with 18F-fluorocholine (18F-FCH) or 18F-fluodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) before and 8 weeks after 90Y-TARE. On pre-treatment PET/CT, 13 subjects (61.

This is a presentation of the case of a patient who underwent F-fluorocholine positron emission/computed tomography to stage a prostate cancer with incidentally found bilateral pneumonia. A high prevalence of incidental pneumonia is very probable under the current circumstance of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, and oncological patients are at increased risk of COVID-19 with poorer outcome. The lung inflammatory burden in the case of COVID-19 infection can be demonstrated by F-fluorocholine.

Objectives: To evaluate prospectively [(18)F]-fluorocholine positron-emission/computed tomography (FCH PET/CT) for lymph node staging of prostate cancer before intended curative therapy, and to determine whether imaging 15 or 60 min after radiotracer injection is preferable.
Patients And Methods: In all, 25 consecutive patients with newly diagnosed prostate cancer (Gleason score >6, and/or a prostate-specific antigen level of >10 ng/mL, and/or T3 cancer) were scanned before lymphadenectomy. Each patient was assessed twice with imaging, at 15 and 60 min after the injection with FCH.
