The utility of [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography in thymic epithelial tumours.
OBJECTIVES Positron emission tomography using [(18)F]-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose ((18)F-FDG-PET) plays an important role in many oncological settings. In this study, we assessed the utility of (18)F-FDG PET-CT for predicting the histologic type and stage of thymic epithelial tumours. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 58 patients with thymic epithelial tumours who underwent PET-CT before treat...
متن کاملUtility of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography for distinguishing between the histological types of early stage thymic epithelial tumours.
OBJECTIVES Recent studies have shown the usefulness of (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) in differentiating between World Health Organization (WHO) histological subgroups of thymic epithelial tumours. However, these reports may have included many advanced cases of these lesions (Masaoka stage III or IV) of high-risk subtypes. The objective of our present study was ...

A 68-year-old woman was referred to the Vasculitis Service following several specialty reviews. She reported 6 months of back pain, a 10-kg weight loss, and lethargy. She was a current smoker with a 26 pack-year history. She had no prior illness and the results of her physical examination were normal. Blood pressure was 132/82 mm Hg. She was prescribed no regular medications but had taken inter...
متن کاملThe role of [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography in thymic epithelial tumors
The purpose of this study was to systemically review the available literature regarding the diagnostic performance of positron emission tomography (PET) using 2-[18F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose ([18F]FDG) in patients with thymic epithelial tumors. We reviewed 13 studies that evaluated the diagnostic role of thymic epithelial tumors with [18F]FDG-PET. [18F]FDG-PET is a useful radiological modality ...
متن کامل18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography in the management of patients with thymic epithelial tumors.
PURPOSE There are limited data regarding the role of (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography ([(18)F]-FDG PET) imaging in management of patients with thymic epithelial tumors (TET). The primary objective of this study was to assess the usefulness of early [(18)F]-FDG PET to monitor treatment efficacy and its correlation with Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) in...
