Positron emission tomography is considered a potentially useful diagnostic tool in the management of a variety of malignancies. It has been used for staging, evaluation of recurrent and metastatic disease, evaluation of tumoral response to neoadjuvant therapy, and providing prognostic information. However, some data are available about its definitive role in the colorectal cancer population. In this review, the most recent evidences and future perspectives are presented for the use of the 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography in the management of patients with colorectal cancer.
正电子发射断层扫描被认为是管理多种恶性肿瘤的一种潜在有用的诊断工具。它已被用于分期、评估复发和转移性疾病、评估肿瘤对新辅助治疗的反应以及提供预后信息。然而,关于其在结直肠癌人群中的明确作用的一些数据是可用的。在这篇综述中,介绍了18F-氟脱氧葡萄糖正电子发射断层扫描在结直肠癌患者管理中的最新证据和未来前景。
