In various neoplasms,18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography with computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) is an established modality for preoperative lymph node (LN) staging. In UTUC, the diagnostic value o
18-FDG PET–CT allowed a differential diagnosis in three patients. In contrast, CT had a sensitivity of 7% and a negative predictive value of 35% (p <0.001 vs. 18-FDG PET–CT). Only eight MRI scans were performed. The diagnostic performance of 18-FDG PET–CT is superior to that of ...

Positron emission tomography with 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-D-glucose (FDG-PET) has been proven useful for differentiating pancreatic ductal cancer from mass-forming chronic pancreatitis. However, there are particular pancreatic tumors having various grades
We evaluated management impact and prognostic value of FDG PET in 63 consecutive patients undergoing restaging of NSCLC between 11/96 and 12/98. All patients were >6 months from primary treatment with curative intent. Salvage therapy with curative intent was being contemplated in 18 patien...
Because of this limitation, it is possible that some subjects could have received unnecessary treatment for a false positive finding on 18F-FDG PET-CT. Second, the assessment of eligibility required the local treating physician to make a clinical judgment about the presence of ‘non-diagnostic’ ...
