Prognostic Value of Metabolic Tumor Volume Measured by 18F-FDG PET/CT in Esophageal Cancer Patients
OBJECTIVE In this study, we aimed to explore prognostic importance of definition of preoperative metabolic tumor volume in esophageal cancer patients. METHODS 22 patients who have histologically proven stage IIA-III esophageal cancer and underwent (18)F-FDG PET/CT for preoperative staging of disease were included to the study. After (18)F-FDG PET/CT, all the patients underwent surgery within ...
متن کاملPrognostic Value of the Sum of Metabolic Tumor Volume of Primary Tumor and Lymph Nodes Using 18F-FDG PET/CT in Patients With Cervical Cancer
This is an observational study to determine the most relevant parameter of ¹⁸F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) for predicting recurrence in cervical cancer. Fifty-six patients with International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage IIB-IVA cervical cancer who underwent pretreatment ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT were enrolled. PET parameters in...
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 کاملPrognostic value of metabolic tumor volume measured by 18F-FDG PET/CT in advanced-stage squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx and hypopharynx.
BACKGROUND Metabolic tumor volume (MTV) of (18)F-FDG PET/CT is a volumetric measurement of tumor cells with increased 18F-FDG uptake. We evaluated the prognostic value of MTV in patients with locoregionally advanced laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS We evaluated 81 patients with advanced-stage squamous cell carcinoma of the laryngohypopharynx who underwent 18F-FDG PET/...
متن کاملAccuracy of 18F-FDG PET/CT for primary tumor visualization and staging in T1 breast cancer.
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of 18F-FDG PET/CT in T1 breast cancer regarding visualization of the primary tumor and the detection of locoregional and distant metastases. METHODS Sixty-two women with invasive T1 breast cancer underwent a PET/CT. Image acquisition of the thorax was done in prone position with hanging breasts, followed by whole-body scanning in sup...
