This article provides an overview of imaging modalities that aid in diagnosing, staging, and assessing therapeutic response in prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is the second most common type of cancer in American men and the second leading cause of cancer death among men. Prostate cancer is difficult to diagnose in early stages, and advanced disease often recurs after treatment. To localize sites of recurrence many imaging modalities have been used with varying success. This article presents case studies of PET scanning using carbon 11 acetate and discusses intravenously infused ascorbate, a complementary and alternative medicine therapy for prostate cancer.
本文概述了有助于诊断、分期和评估前列腺癌治疗反应的影像学方法。前列腺癌是美国男性中第二常见的癌症类型，也是男性癌症死亡的第二大主要原因。前列腺癌在早期阶段难以诊断，晚期疾病在治疗后常常复发。为了定位复发部位，已经使用了许多影像学方法，但成功率不一。本文通过使用碳 11 醋酸盐的 PET 扫描的病例研究，讨论了静脉输注抗坏血酸作为前列腺癌的补充和替代医学疗法。
