Abstract
- UNLABELLED: European and American guidelines recommend abdominal computed tomography (CT) and bone scans for staging of high-risk prostate cancer (PC).

We used the National Prostate Cancer Register of Sweden (NPCR) to define the rates of positive CT and bone scan findings among men with CPG 4 or 5 cancer. Among men with CPG 4 and prostate-specific antigen (PSA)
