Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the effectiveness of FDG-PET imaging to predict how well patients with locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) respond to treatment after neoadjuvant therapy.
- A total of 47 patients underwent PET scans before and after therapy, and specific metabolic parameters were calculated to assess their treatment responses.
- Results showed that FDG-PET could accurately identify various levels of pathologic response in both primary tumors and regional nodal metastases, indicating that it is a valuable tool for monitoring treatment effectiveness.
Background: Aim of the study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of FDG PET-CT for the detection of local and distant disease relapse in surgically treated patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC).
Material And Methods: This retrospective study includes 96 patients underwent FDG PET-CT scanning in the post-surgical follow up within the first 6-12 months referred to nuclear medicine department, to perform PET/CT study. Each patient underwent FDG PET-CT with low dose CT, followed immediately by full dose Ce-CT.
