PURPOSE: F]fluciclovine positron emission tomography/computerized tomography is an early indicator of subclinical metastasis among patients with high risk prostate cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: F]fluciclovine positron emission tomography/computerized tomography and conventional imaging for detection of metastatic disease, and correlation of positivity to node and metastatic deposit size were determined. RESULTS: F] fluciclovine positron emission tomography/computerized tomography which precluded surgery. Detection of metastasis was related to size of metastatic deposits within lymph nodes and overall metastatic burden. CONCLUSIONS: F]Fluciclovine positron emission tomography/computerized tomography detects occult metastases not identified on conventional imaging and may help guide treatment decisions and lymph node dissection due to high specificity for metastatic disease.
