18FDG PET-CT for distant metastases in patients with recurrent head and neck cancer after definitive treatment. A meta-analysis.
To evaluate the role of 18FDG PET-CT for screening distant metastases before salvage treatment in patients with suspected recurrent head and neck cancer. Studies about 18FDG PET-CT were systematically searched in the MEDLINE and EMBASE databases (last update October 05, 2013). We calculated sensitivities, specificities, positive likelihood ratios and negative likelihood ratios, and constructed ...
متن کاملPrediction of survival with fluorine-18-fluoro-deoxyglucose and PET in head and neck cancer.
UNLABELLED The aim of this prospective study was to investigate if high uptake of 18F-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) is associated with aggressiveness in head and neck cancer and low probability of survival. METHODS Thirty-seven patients with squamous-cell carcinoma of the head and neck underwent FDG-PET in the fasting state before cancer treatment. FDG uptake in primary tumor was quantitated...

متن کاملLesion regression rate based on RECIST: prediction of treatment outcome in patients with head and neck cancer treated with chemoradiotherapy compared with FDG PET-CT
The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the lesion regression rate (ΔLR) based on the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria could be used for the prediction of treatment outcome in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients treated with chemoradiotherapy (CRT) compared with FDG PET-CT. A total of 33 patients underwent MRI and PET-CT at pretreatment and...
متن کاملInterim FDG PET/CT for predicting the outcome in patients with head and neck cancer.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS The study aimed to investigate the prognostic effects of interim (18) fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) during definitive radiotherapy (RT) or chemoradiotherapy (CRT) in patients with head and neck cancer. STUDY DESIGN This is a prospectively treatment study. METHODS The pretreatment and interim PET/CT images of 51 patie...
