The role of positron emission tomography (PET) with [F-18]-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) for the imaging evaluation of patients who have cancer has expanded rapidly worldwide. The exact clinical use of PET and PET-computed tomography in prostate cancer is currently being explored. The recent publications summarizing the NOPR findings showed that prostate cancer was one of the most common cancers with patient enrollment. This article first reviews the limited available data on the molecular biology basis of FDG accumulation in prostate cancer, and then briefly reviews the current clinical experience with the use of PET with FDG in the imaging evaluation of prostate cancer.
