PET/CT: Role in staging, in follow-up and in the evaluation of disease recurrence in gynecologic cancer.
Abstract
F-FDG PET/CT has a limited role for local staging of primary cancer, it has an important role in staging, as it aids particularly in identifying the involvement of lymph nodes and distant metastases throughout the whole body in a single examination in patients with advanced-stage disease and also in restaging after therapy. Another major indication of the modality is the evaluation of disease recurrence, especially in clinically equivocal patients or in patients in which tumor markers are rising, and conventional imaging studies show negative or equivocal findings.
