Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and urothelial carcinoma (UC) are two of the most common genitourinary malignancies. 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-d-glucose (18F-FDG) can play an important role in the evaluation of patients with RCC and UC. In addition to the clinical utility of 18F-FDG PET to evaluate for metastatic RCC or UC, the shift in molecular imaging to focus on specific ligand-receptor interactions should provide novel diagnostic and therapeutic opportunities in genitourinary malignancies. In combination with the rise of artificial intelligence, our ability to derive imaging biomarkers that are associated with treatment selection, response assessment, and overall patient prognostication will only improve.
