Study Overview

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.
