Patterns of Recurrence After Postprostatectomy Fossa Radiation Therapy Identified by C-11 Choline Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography

Using CholPET, we found that the majority of patients evaluated for biochemical failure recurred outside of the postprostatectomy RT field. Furthermore, most recurrence sites were nodal and inferior to the aortic bifurcation. These results provide data that may be useful for examining strategies that include elective lymph node irradiation in postprostatectomy patients.
