Role of positron emission tomography-computed tomography in endometrial cancer
Objective The efficacy of preoperative 18F-fluoro-D-glucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) in endometrium cancer is controversial. We examined the efficacy of PET-CT and the association between maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) and prognostic factors in endometrial cancer. Materials and Methods Thirty patients with endometrial cancer underwent pre...
متن کاملImaging Cellular Proliferation in Prostate Cancer with Positron Emission Tomography
Prostate cancer remains a major public health problem worldwide. Imaging plays an important role in the assessment of disease at all its clinical phases, including staging, restaging after definitive therapy, evaluation of therapy response, and prognostication. Positron emission tomography with a number of biologically targeted radiotracers has been demonstrated to have potential diagnostic and...
متن کاملA Comparative Study of the Construction of Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography Facilities in Three South African Hospitals
Introduction: Development of higher energy modalities such as positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT), has led to more complex shielding problems. This is due to several factors, such as the radiopharmaceutical relatively high-administered activity, high patient throughput, and high energies of 511 kilo-electron volt (keV) positron annihilation photon...
متن کاملThe Role of Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography in the Initial Staging of Colon Cancer
patients [4]. Thus, including PET/CT in the routine staging of all patients diagnosed with colon cancer seems to be unreasonable. If a distant metastasis is suspected in a conventional imaging study such as CT, the role of additional PET/CT is that it can exclude some false positive cases and detect other distant metastases. In those cases, according to the PET/CT results, the treatment strateg...
متن کاملDiagnostic role of fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography in prostate cancer
The role of fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)-computed tomography (CT) in prostate cancer remains controversial due to a limited number of previous clinical investigations. The aim of the present retrospective study was to assess the diagnostic value of FDG PET-CT in prostate cancer, with an emphasis on the detection of metastatic disease. Twenty-five relev...
