Diagnosis of prostate cancer (PC) still remains critical as non-invasive screening with prostate specific-antigen (PSA) lacks to indicate malignancy of the prostate in some cases. Recent research has shown that clinically meaningful PC can develop in patients with a PSA value <4 ng/ml, frequently defined as upper limit of normal serum PSA levels. Furthermore, both morphological (computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging, transrectal ultrasound) and functional imaging with 18fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) are associated with several limitations for primary diagnosis of PC. We report a case of an incidentally diagnosed PSA-negative PC by 18FDG PET/CT in a patient with a previous diagnosis of a hypopharyngeal cancer.Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases (2007) 10, 307–310; doi:10.1038/sj.pcan.4500959; published online 13 March 2007 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
