Integrated positron-emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) with 2-[fluorine-18] fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) is now established in the management of oncology patients. With increasing availability and a constantly advancing body of evidence, the role of FDG PET/CT in oesophageal cancer is set to expand to include initial staging, assessment of disease response, therapy planning, and detection of disease recurrence. This article reviews the utility of FDG PET/CT in the management of oesophageal carcinoma, discussing its role and limitations in the imaging of these patients.
采用2-[氟-18]氟-2-脱氧-D-葡萄糖(FDG)的一体化正电子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描(PET/CT)现已应用于肿瘤患者的管理。随着其可及性的提高和证据的不断积累,FDG PET/CT在食管癌中的作用将扩大到包括初始分期、疾病反应评估、治疗规划以及疾病复发检测。本文综述了FDG PET/CT在食管癌管理中的应用,讨论了其在这些患者成像中的作用和局限性。
