Prevalence and clinical significance of incidental (18)F-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose uptake in prostate.

CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of incidental FDG uptake in the prostate was not high, although patients with elevated serum PSA had a higher incidence of prostate cancer. Patients with FDG uptake in the prostate should be secondarily evaluated by measuring serum PSA, with those having high serum PSA undergoing prostate biopsy. PMID: 25874042 [PubMed - in process]
