<sup>18</sup>F-FDG PET/CT in the Diagnosis of Cervical Cancer

Positron emission tomography coupled with computed (PET/CT) has proven to be highly informative in the diagnosis of various malignant tumours. PET/CT examination takes into account biological and morphological data, which allow accurate tumour localisation full staging disease, respectively. Cervical cancer (CC) is one most common, high-mortality cancers women. The effectiveness CC treatment depends on early diagnosis, connected assessment local spread metastatic lymph node involvement detection disease recurrence. aim study was analyse possibility using 18 F-FDG for evaluation effectiveness. Additionally, aimed potential other radiopharmaceuticals as biomarkers response. malignancies are characterised by high glycolytic activity, explains superiority over traditional imaging methods comprehensive patients and, especially, detecting nodal distant metastases. Also, plays an important part patients. Further development visualisation cervical lesions associated investigating possibilities specific obtain information about processes that support cell growth: metabolism, proliferative oxygenation.
