Proper management of prostate cancer is directly tied to correct staging of disease, in particular, accurate lymph node staging. Additionally, every patient’s prognosis is highly dependent upon the ability to accurately detect metastatic disease. Unfortunately, the current gold standard for lymph node staging, surgical pelvic lymph node dissection, can result in significant complications. Pre-operative imaging attempts to provide a non-invasive alternative without sacrificing the reliability of a tissue diagnosis. The purpose of this exhibit is to present the utility of current and experimental imaging modalities available for lymph node staging of prostate cancer.

Case presentations will cover representative examples of each of the following modalities from patients with confirmed prostate cancer and lymph node metastases, along with a discussion of the key features and shortcomings of each modality. The list of modalities includes: 1. Conventional CT and MRI 2. PET (FDG, C11-acetate, FACBC) 3. Advanced MRI (ADC and high b DWI) 4. Iron Oxide Imaging 5. Sentinel Node Imaging
