Early lung cancer detection using spiral computed tomography and positron emission tomography.
RATIONALE Lung cancer screening using computed tomography (CT) is effective in detecting lung cancer in early stages. Concerns regarding false-positive rates and unnecessary invasive procedures have been raised. OBJECTIVE To study the efficiency of a lung cancer protocol using spiral CT and F-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET). METHODS High-risk individuals underwe...
متن کاملEarly Lung Cancer Detection Using Computed Tomography
INTRODUCTION Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death in United States and worldwide with around 1.3 million death per year. But general prognosis of lung cancer is poor. Overall, 16% of people in the United States diagnosed with lung cancer survive five years after the diagnosis [1]. Late diagnosis is the primary reason for the high mortality. Lung cancer is assigned a stage fr...
متن کاملRole of positron emission tomography-computed tomography in endometrial cancer
Objective The efficacy of preoperative 18F-fluoro-D-glucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) in endometrium cancer is controversial. We examined the efficacy of PET-CT and the association between maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) and prognostic factors in endometrial cancer. Materials and Methods Thirty patients with endometrial cancer underwent pre...
متن کاملImaging Cellular Proliferation in Prostate Cancer with Positron Emission Tomography
Prostate cancer remains a major public health problem worldwide. Imaging plays an important role in the assessment of disease at all its clinical phases, including staging, restaging after definitive therapy, evaluation of therapy response, and prognostication. Positron emission tomography with a number of biologically targeted radiotracers has been demonstrated to have potential diagnostic and...
متن کاملPositron emission tomography and single photon emission computed tomography.
Neuroimaging techniques have had a dramatic impact on the evaluation and treatment of patients with epilepsy. In order to take full advantage of their potential, it is important to place them in clinical and electrophysiological context and to understand their technical limitations. Positron emission tomography with 18F-2-deoxyglucose and single photon emission computed tomography can provide v...
