PET: other thoracic malignancies
The vast majority of esophageal cancers are fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) avid; the primary use for positron emission tomography (PET) in patients with esophageal cancer is in the detection of distant metastases, because known distant metastatic disease precludes surgical resection. High standardized uptake values (SUVs) may be predictive of poor prognosis. PET findings may be used to assess therapy...
متن کاملDual-energy CT imaging of thoracic malignancies
Computed tomography (CT) plays a pivotal role in the detection, characterization, and staging of lung cancer and other thoracic malignancies. Since the introduction of clinically viable dual-energy CT techniques, substantial evidence has accumulated on the use of this modality for imaging chest malignancies. This article describes the principles of dual-energy CT along with suitable image acqui...
متن کاملSuperior vena cava syndrome in thoracic malignancies.
The superior vena cava syndrome (SVCS) comprises various symptoms due to occlusion of the SVC, which can be easily obstructed by pathological conditions (eg, lung cancer, due to the low internal venous pressure within rigid structures of the thorax [trachea, right bronchus, aorta]). The resulting increased venous pressure in the upper body may cause edema of the head, neck, and upper extremitie...
متن کاملThoracic malignancies, cisplatin and renal function.
C isplatin (cis-dichlorodiammine-platinum II or CDDP) is the central drug used in the management of thoracic malignancies. The first trials were published in the 1970s [1], showing activity in lung cancer. Since then it has been shown to improve survival in advanced nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) [2] and survival and cure in combination with radiotherapy in locoregional NSCLC and prior to [3...
متن کاملPhotodynamic Therapy in Non-Gastrointestinal Thoracic Malignancies
Photodynamic therapy has a role in the management of early and late thoracic malignancies. It can be used to facilitate minimally-invasive treatment of early endobronchial tumours and also to palliate obstructive and bleeding effects of advanced endobronchial tumours. Photodynamic therapy has been used as a means of downsizing tumours to allow for resection, as well as reducing the extent of re...
