- Conditions
- Urological Malignancies
- Registration Number
- NCT00706212
- Lead Sponsor
- Rabin Medical Center
- Brief Summary
PET CT is one of the imaging tools that are used for staging of urological malignancies.
C11 Choline is a novel isotope with the advantage of its minimal secretion in the urine. This advantage makes it a potentially better metabolic marker then others such as FDG. Preliminary studies showed \~95% sensitivity in the diagnosis of TCC. Our Goal is to continue the evaluation of this method as a diagnostic and follow up tool in different urological malignancies.
