Diagnostic performance of 18F-FDG PET-CT in patients presenting with secondary neck nodes from an unknown primary
Introduction: Clinical examination and even anatomical imaging may fail to identify primary site of malignancy in patients presenting with cervical nodal metastasis. 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Computed Tomography (18F-FDG PET-CT) is known to overcome the limitations of anatomic imaging. Methods: Sixty-three (63) patient...
متن کاملClinical implication of glucose transport and metabolism evaluated by 18F-FDG PET in hepatocellular carcinoma.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has variable 18F-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (18F-FDG) uptake and the relationship between 18F-FDG uptake with the expression of glucose transporters (Gluts) and hexokinase II (HK-II) has not been extensively examined. Present study explored the role of 18F-FDG positron emission tomography (PET) as a clinical significance and the association with Gluts and HK-II in p...
متن کاملFDG PETCT in colorectal cancer
Colorectal cancer represents the second most common malignancy worldwide, with approximately one million newly diagnosed cases each year, and is the fourth leading cause of cancer mortality. This article provides an overview of the role of FDG (fluorodeoxyglucose) PET (positron emission tomography) CT (computed tomography) for assessment in patients with colorectal cancer. A summary of key lear...
متن کاملClinical relevance of 18F-FDG PET and 18F-DOPA PET in recurrent medullary thyroid carcinoma.
UNLABELLED The transition from stable to progressive disease is unpredictable in patients with biochemical evidence of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC). Calcitonin and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) doubling times are currently the most reliable markers for progression, but for accurate determination, serial measurements, which need time, are required. We compared (18)F-FDG PET and (18)F-dihyd...
متن کامل[18F]FDG PET/CT in a case of recurrent primary cardiac osteosarcoma
Primary cardiac osteosarcoma is a very rare malignancy with a high incidence of local recurrence and systemic metastasis, contributing to the poor prognosis. Radiological modalities are commonly used for the evaluation of cardiac masses. 2-[18F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose ([18F]FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography is a valuable whole-body imaging modality in ...
