Axumin PetCT verses Mayo C11 choline to detect cancer spread

[JDKotter]

Does anyone know the difference between Axumin Pet scan verses the Mayo C11 Choline PET Scan?

I’ve heard that Axumin has a 20% false positive rate.

Gleason 9, PSA 68, 3 Lymph nodes, seminal and margins bladder neck

After RP, month 1 PSA zero month 2 .2, month 3 .6, month 4 1.7.

Doctors will plan Radiation to Prostate bed based on results of Pet CT. I’m doubting the effectiveness of IMRT for my case.

Thank you,

Jeff

Axumin is much more sensitive than C-11 choline:

If you want to see the probability that salvage RT will be curative, use this nomogram:

Go for the IMRT/SBRT. My RO used the PET with Axumin to develop the treatment plan.

Happy holidays!
