Histological Validation of ¹¹ Carbon-Acetate Positron Emission Tomography/Computerized Tomography in Detecting Lymph Node Metastases in Prostate Cancer

C-acetate positron emission tomography/computerized tomography can identify prostate cancer metastatic nodal disease. However, it underestimates the true cephalad extent of nodal involvement, performing better in the pelvis than in the retroperitoneum. Standard uptake value, histological nodal size, intranodal metastasis size and extranodal extension correlate with cancer bearing nodes.
