1462 Objectives We investigated the clinical significance of FDG-avid lymphadenopathy in the ipsilateral inguino-femoral area in patients with lower extremity osteosarcoma treated with surgical resection and endoprosthetic replacement.Methods Among patients with lower extremity osteosarcoma treated with surgical...
Interestingly, the only participant who showed a lesion with a higher S UVmax with 68Ga-NODAGA-RGD compared with 18F-FDG (Fig. 2) experienced disease recurrence 231 days after the 68Ga-NODAGA-RGD PET/CT study and died 962 days after, during disease progression with fluorouracil,...
the risk of distant metastases in T1N0 disease (stage I) is very low and PET imaging may lead to false positive findings. In a multicentre study of 325 women with operable BC, 2-[18F]FDG PET (without a CT component) suggested distant metastases in 13 patients, only three (0.9%) were ...
therapy metabolic response were significant prognostic factors for both OS and DFS for all patients, but no significant prognostic factors were found in pelvic lymph node metastasis only.ConclusionsPatients with highly FDG-avid pelvic lymph nodes have a higher risk of disease recurrence with worse ...
Conclusions: After resection, patients with non-FDG avid N2 disease have better survival than patients with FDG avid N2 disease. Exploratory thoracotomy alone (after frozen section analysis) cannot be advocated in patients with non-FDG avid N2 disease as survival after resection appears at least ...
Interestingly, we observed that new FDG-avid lymph nodes appearing in FDG-PET after virus treatments may represent inflammatory responses and therefore should not be interpreted as treatment failure in the absence of other signs or verification of disease progression. We also observed indications that ...
Clinical relevance statement: 18F-FDG PET/CT after chemotherapy exhibits prognostic significance in neuroblastoma and holds potential as an alternative imaging modality for response evaluation, especially in cases with metaiodobenzylguanidine-nonavid or persistent avid diseas...
In this case report, we emphasize that in patients with sJIA, there may be intense fluorodeoxyglucose-avid lymph nodes that may lead to the consideration of lymphoproliferative disease, and PET/CT findings along with spleen and bone marrow involvement may ov...

The whole pelvis was the standard irradiation field for all patients except those with FDG-avid extrapelvic findings.ResultsIn all, 129 patients were enrolled. Pretreatment PET detected extrapelvic metastases in 7 patients. No new patient experienced treatment failure during the additional 4-year ...
