Accuracy of PET/CT with FDG in mediastinal lymph node staging of patients with NSCLC
PET/CT and contrast enhancement CT (CECT) are the two fundamental non-invasive exams in the preoperative staging of patients with non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In the staging of the mediastinum, recent studies show that PET is more accurate than CECT, with an average sensitivity and specificity of 85 vs. 61% and 90 vs. 79%, respectively. However, thanks to its specificity value of 100%, t...
متن کاملStaging recurrent ovarian cancer with 18FDG PET/CT
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the use of 2-deoxy-2-((18)F)-fluoro-D-glucose ((18)FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) in patients with suspected ovarian cancer recurrence and describe the distribution of metastasis. A total of 45 female patients who underwent PET/CT scan due to raised CA-125 levels, clinical suspicion of ovarian cancer recurrence or al...
متن کاملIntegrated PET/CT in the Staging of NSCLC
Lung cancer is a common disease with approximately 3-million new cases per year worldwide and is the leading cause of cancer-related death in many countries. Eighty percent of the lung cancers are non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC) and 20% are small cell lung cancers (SCLC) [1]. The imaging diagnostic assessment of patients with lung cancer includes morphological imaging modalities such as che...
متن کاملThe accuracy of EUS-FNA in assessing mediastinal lymphadenopathy and staging patients with NSCLC.
Optimal management of nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) depends on tissue diagnosis and accurate staging. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) is minimally invasive and provides cytological confirmation of malignant mediastinal disease. The aim was to assess the accuracy of EUS-FNA in cases of enlarged mediastinal lymphadenopathy (LN) of unknown aetiology and in the sta...
متن کاملCombined transbronchial needle aspiration and positron emission tomography for mediastinal staging of NSCLC.
There are no data available combining transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA) of mediastinal lymph nodes and positron emission tomography (PET) in the staging of nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The aim of the current study was to determine if these two methods can enhance the negative predictive value of the individual modality alone, for a specific lymph node station, and if this integrated...
