Predictive and prognostic value of FDG-PET
The predictive and prognostic value of fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET) in non-small-cell lung carcinoma, colorectal carcinoma and lymphoma is discussed. The degree of FDG uptake is of prognostic value at initial presentation, after induction treatment prior to resection and in the case of relapse of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In locally advanced and advanced...
متن کاملPrognostic value of midtreatment FDG-PET in oropharyngeal cancer.
BACKGROUND Prognostic metabolic imaging indices are needed for risk stratification for patients with locally advanced oropharyngeal cancer. METHODS We retrospectively examined pretreatment and midtreatment fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) parameters in patients with locally advanced oropharyngeal cancer who were treated with definitive chemoradiation. RESULTS A tota...
متن کاملPrognostic value of 18F-FDG PET in monosegmental stenosis and myelopathy of the cervical spinal cord.
UNLABELLED MRI offers perfect visualization of spondylotic stenosis of the cervical spine, but morphologic imaging does not correlate with clinical symptoms and postoperative recovery after decompression surgery. In this prospective study, we investigated the role of (18)F-FDG PET in patients with degenerative stenosis of the cervical spinal cord in relation to postsurgical outcome. METHODS T...
متن کاملPredictive value of 18F-FDG PET and somatostatin receptor scintigraphy in patients with metastatic endocrine tumors.
UNLABELLED The treatment of metastatic neuroendocrine tumors depends on the aggressiveness of the disease. We wanted to know whether (18)F-FDG PET and somatostatin receptor scintigraphy (SRS) can predict early disease progression and patient survival. METHODS We undertook a prospective study of patients with metastatic neuroendocrine tumor diagnosed between September 2003 and January 2006. Af...
متن کاملPrognostic value of 18F-FDG PET/CT before and after radiotherapy for locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of maximal standard uptake values (SUVs(max)) from serial fluor-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography ((18)F-FDG PET/CT) in patients with locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). MATERIALS AND METHODS From October 2002 to January 2004, 62 patients with locally advanced NPC who un...
