Evaluation of dual-time-point 18F-FDG PET for staging in patients with lung cancer.
UNLABELLED (18)F-FDG PET is increasingly used for lung cancer; however, some insufficient results have been reported. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of dual-time-point (18)F-FDG PET for staging lung cancer and for differentiating metastatic from nonmetastatic lung cancer lesions. METHODS One hundred fifty-five lung cancer patients with known or suspected mediastinal an...
متن کاملLymph nodal staging for non-small-cell lung cancer.
We read with interest Matsuguma et al.’s recent paper in the journal [1] on the optimum method of lymph node (LN) staging for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We congratulate the authors on their elegant analysis of the data to conclude that the LN ratio had the best discriminatory power, followed by the LN number, both of which were superior to the current nodal staging system. Several othe...
متن کاملFDG-PET imaging for lymph node staging and pathologic tumor response after neoadjuvant treatment of non-small cell lung cancer.
PURPOSE A number of studies have demonstrated that 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) is effective for staging of lung cancer. However, the efficacy of FDG-PET for staging lung cancer after neoadjuvant treatment is still controversial. This study compared FDG-PET and computed tomography (CT) for lung cancer staging, and evaluated the ability of the two methods to pred...
متن کاملESTS guidelines for intraoperative lymph node staging in non-small cell lung cancer.
The European Society of Thoracic Surgeons (ESTS) organized a workshop dealing with lymph node staging in non-small cell lung cancer. The objective of this workshop was to develop guidelines for definitions and the surgical procedures of intraoperative lymph node staging, and the pathologic evaluation of resected lymph nodes in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Relevant peer-revi...
متن کاملRevised ESTS guidelines for preoperative mediastinal lymph node staging for non-small-cell lung cancer.
Accurate preoperative staging and restaging of mediastinal lymph nodes in patients with potentially resectable non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is of paramount importance. In 2007, the European Society of Thoracic Surgeons (ESTS) published an algorithm on preoperative mediastinal staging integrating imaging, endoscopic and surgical techniques. In 2009, the International Association for the St...
