Aim: The aim of the study was to compare semiquantitative metabolic parameters of primary tumor assessed in vivo in F-FDG- and F-FLT in cervical cancer patients.
Material & Methods: 39 patients with histologically confirmed cervical cancer underwent PET/CT scans acquired on separate days 60 min after i. v.
Article Synopsis
- * Thirty-six patients underwent separate PET/CT scans with three different tracers (F-FDG, F-FLT, and F-FMISO) before starting treatment, allowing researchers to assess tumor biology through various parameters such as maximum standardized uptake value (SUV) and total lesion glycolysis (TLG).
- * Results indicated that patients with worse prognoses displayed higher values in all PET/CT parameters compared to those with better prognoses, suggesting that these metrics may help predict patient outcomes.
Objective: Human papillomavirus (HPV) has been usually associated with gynaecological cancers; however, recent studies have shown that this virus plays an important role in head and neck cancer. The aim of this study was to correlate PET/CT parameters in HPV-positive (HPV) and HPV-negative (HPV) patients using three tracers showing glucose metabolism, proliferation and hypoxia.
Patients And Methods: Thirty-six patients (10 females and 26 males) with newly diagnosed head and neck cancer were enroled to this retrospective study.
