Background: The purpose of this study was to identify site-specific recurrence patterns for patients (pts) with biochemical recurrence (BCR) after prostatectomy (RP) using C-11 Choline PET/CT (C11Ch) and 3T pelvic MRI with endorectal coil (pMRI). Methods: Between 2008 and 2006, 2,466 men underwent C11Ch and pMRI for BCR after RP. From this cohort, we identified 261 pts who received no adjuvant or salvage therapy (androgen deprivation or radiation). Suspected radiographic relapse was confirmed by biopsy (46%) or progression/response to treatment in concordance with subsequent rise/decline in PSA (54%). Results: Of the 261 men evaluated, 202 (75%) had positive pMRI, C11Ch or both. Seventy nine (39%), 105 (52%) and 18 (9%) pts had high, intermediate, and low risk CaP, respectively at RP. Median PSA at the time of positive scan was 2.3 ng/mL, with a median time from BCR to radiographic disease identification of 15 months. Of these 202 men, 67 (33%) harbored prostate fossa recurrence only, 44 (22%) had a combination of local and metastatic disease and 91 (45%) had metastatic disease without local recurrence. Forty (20%) pts had pelvic nodal recurrence only and 18 (9%) had perirectal nodal involvement. Median PSA for pts with local only recurrence, distant metastases only, and local + distant disease was 2.3, 2.7 and 2.2 ng/mL, respectively, with a median interval from BCR to positive scan of 16.7, 7.9 and 11 months. Imaging revealed that 33% to 66% of our cohort would have all sites of disease treated by salvage RT depending on the extent of the treatment field Conclusions: C11Ch and pMRI were used to identify recurrence patterns in pts with BCR after RP only. At median PSA of 2.3 ng/ml, our study demonstrates a low rate of local-only recurrence, higher than anticipated frequency of metastatic recurrence with peak frequency within the pelvic lymph nodes, and substantial perirectal recurrences. Despite the high rates of distant recurrences, 2/3 of our cohort had their disease limited to the pelvis and could be potential candidates for local therapies, including salvage radiation.
