Between 15% and 40% of those affected by prostate cancer become ill in a 10-year period. Therefore, it is very important to diagnose this resurrection as soon as possible. Specifically, through the use of the choline substance and the development of positron emission tomography (PET), a more effective diagnosis of the premature reeducation of prostate carcinoma is obtained. This is what the doctor of Nuclear Medicine of the Clínica Universitaria de Navarra, Macarena Rodríguez, says. The research was carried out with 38 patients, and the results indicate that the hill has a sensitivity of 65% and that the FDG (18F-fludesoxigene) used to date was 28%.
