[11C]choline-PET-guided helical tomotherapy and estramustine in a patient with pelvic-recurrent prostate cancer: local control and toxicity profile a…

2010

[11C]choline positron emission tomograhy can be useful to detect metastatic disease and to localize isolated lymph node relapse after primary treatment in case of prostate-specific antigen failure. In case of lymph node failure in prostate cancer patients, surgery or radiotherapy can be proposed with a curative intent. Some reports have suggested that radiotherapy could have a role in local control of oligometastatic lymph node disease. This is the first reported case of [11C]choline positron emission tomography-guided helical tomotherapy concomitant with estramustine for the treatment of pelvic-recurrent prostate cancer. At 24 months after the end of helical tomotherapy, prostate-specific…

Choline PET/CT Features to Predict Survival Outcome in High Risk Prostate Cancer Restaging: A Preliminary Machine-Learning Radiomics Study

2020

Background Radiomic features are increasingly utilized to evaluate tumor heterogeneity in PET imaging but to date its role has not been investigated for Cho-PET in prostate cancer. The potential application of radiomics features analysis using a machine-learning radiomics algorithm was evaluated to select 18F-Cho PET/CT imaging features to predict disease progression in PCa. Methods We retrospectively analyzed high-risk PCa patients who underwent restaging 18F-Cho PET/CT from November 2013 to May 2018. 18F-Cho PET/CT studies and related structures containing volumetric segmentations were imported in the "CGITA" toolbox to extract imaging features from each lesion. A Machine-learning model h…
