Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
RATIONALE: New diagnostic procedures, such as C-11 choline PET-CT scan, may be effective in finding cancer that has spread to the bone and lymph nodes in patients with prostate cancer. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well C-11 choline PET-CT scan works in finding metastases in patients with newly diagnosed high-risk prostate cancer.
