¹⁸F-FCH PET/CT for local disease (detection of malignancy in prostate gland)

Article	Authors	Year	No. of patients	Findings
1 [28]	Kwee et al.	2005	17	Prostate sextants positive for malignancy showed higher SUV-max than biopsy negative sextants
2 [30]	Schmid et al.	2005	19	Only 1 out of 9 patients with 18F-FCH uptake proved to be malignant
3 [17]	Husarik et al.	2008	43	Pathologic uptake was noted in 42 out of 43 patients with histologic proven PCa
4 [18]	Igerc et al.	2008	20	Five out of 13 positive focal 18F-FCH uptake were malignant on pathology
5 [29]	Kwee et al.	2008	15	Sixty one out of 90 prostate sextants with 18F-FCH uptake were malignant on pathology
6 [15]	Beheshti et al.	2010	130	Good correlation between sections with the highest 18F-FCH uptake and malignancy

Abbreviations: PCa, prostate cancer; ¹⁸F-FCH. [¹⁸F]fluoromethyl-dimethyl-2-hydroxyethyl-ammonium; SUV, standardized uptake value.
