Accuracy of PET/CT with FDG in mediastinal lymph node staging of patients with NSCLC
PET/CT and contrast enhancement CT (CECT) are the two fundamental non-invasive exams in the preoperative staging of patients with non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In the staging of the mediastinum, recent studies show that PET is more accurate than CECT, with an average sensitivity and specificity of 85 vs. 61% and 90 vs. 79%, respectively.

متن کاملLymph Node Enlargement in Neck Filariasis as a Rare Cause: A Case Report
Lymphatic filariasis is endemic to tropical countries and is the most common cause of acquired lymphedema in the world. Wuchereria bancrofti is the main etiological agent responsible. While the presentation of filariasis in limbs is common, isolated presentation as a single enlarged lymph node in the neck is very rare. We describe a 48-year-old Indian woman, who presented with a hard lymph node...
متن کاملMediastinal lymph node involvement in non-small cell lung cancer: evaluation with 99mTc-tetrofosmin SPECT and comparison with CT.
UNLABELLED In patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), surgical resection offers the best chance of cure. The preoperative assessment of mediastinal lymph node involvement is crucial to selecting those patients for whom surgery is indicated. METHODS To evaluate the possible clinical role of (99m)Tc-tetrofosmin scintigraphy in the presurgical detection of mediastinal node metastases f...
