The patients are affected by prostate cancer but in two different clinical settings. The first group is characterized by patients who are going to be operated of radical prostatectomy and they will undergo the study imaging preoperatively. The second group experiences biochemical relapse after primary treatment.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion criteria Work-unit 1 * age \< 75 years of age, with histologically proven invasive adenocarcinoma of the prostate * a risk of equal or more than 5% of lymph node metastasis (intermediate to high risk disease), according to the Briganti nomogram (1) * scheduled to undergo radical prostatectomy with extended lymph node dissection Work-unit 2 * histologically proven diagnosis of prostate cancer * biochemical relapse (two consecutive PSA≥0.2 ng/ml) of prostate cancer following radical local prostate treatment * WHO performance state 0-1 * age \> 18 years old Exclusion criteria Work-unit 1 * involvement of pelvic lymph nodes assessed by multi-parametric MRI * evidence for bone metastasis assessed by bone scan (if PSA \> 20 ng/ml) * WHO performance status \> 2 * previous pelvic irradiation or radical prostatectomy. * other malignancy except adequately treated basal cell carcinoma of the skin diagnosed during the last 5 years * any psychological, familial, sociological or geographical condition potentially hampering compliance with the study protocol and follow-up schedule; those conditions should be discussed with the patient before registration in the trial.
