Evolving role of positron emission tomography in breast cancer imaging.
18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) has been used for detection, staging, and response monitoring in breast cancer patients. Although studies have proven its accuracy in detection of the primary tumor and axillary staging, its most important current clinical application is in detection and defining the extent of recurrent or metastatic breast cancer and for monitoring ...
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 کاملPositron Emission Tomography in Breast Cancer
PET18FDG is an imaging diagnostic technique that shows changes in glycolitic metabolism that appear at a very early phases in the tumoral process. The main limitation of PET in breast cancer is the detection of small tumor lesions and axillary micrometastases. However it offers important information in the staging of high risk patients, in clinical relapse or in therapeutic evaluation. The new ...
متن کاملBreast Cancer Role of Positron Emission Tomography for theMonitoring of Response to Therapy in Breast Cancer
This review considers the potential utility of positron emission tomography (PET) tracers in thesettingof responsemonitoring in breast cancer, with a special emphasis on glucosemetabolic changes assessed with F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG). In the neoadjuvant setting of breast cancer, the metabolic response can predict the final complete pathologic response after the first cycles of chemotherapy. B...
متن کاملRole 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...
