Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Imaging procedures, such as PET scan, may help doctors predict a patient's response to treatment and help plan the best treatment.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying carbon-11 acetate and fludeoxyglucose F 18 PET scan of the bone in patients with metastatic prostate cancer that has spread to the bone.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

* Correlate pre-treatment and 3-month post-treatment carbon-11 (\^11C) acetate and fludeoxyglucose F 18 positron emission tomography (\^18F-FDG PET) images with changes in clinical response measures in patients with bone-dominant metastatic prostate cancer.

Secondary

* Compare \^11C acetate and \^18F-FDG PET scanning results with bone scintigraphy in these patients to determine which best predicts clinical response.

* Correlate changes in \^11C acetate and \^18F-FDG PET with changes in prostate-specific antigen level.

* Correlate changes in \^11C acetate and \^18F-FDG PET with clinical symptom parameters (pain scale scores and analgesic usage scales).

* Correlate \^11C acetate and \^18F-FDG PET scan response with clinical time to progression.

* Determine if PET scan response can predict duration of progression-free survival.

OUTLINE: This is a pilot study. Patients are stratified according to hormone response (sensitive \[stratum 1\] vs refractory \[stratum 2\]).

Patients undergo carbon-11 acetate and fludeoxyglucose F 18 positron emission tomography imaging prior to and 3 months after initiation of either androgen-deprivation therapy (stratum 1) or docetaxel (stratum 2).

Pain and quality of life are assessed at baseline and at 3 months.

Patients are followed every 3 months for up to 5 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 40 patients will be accrued for this study.
