The potential use of positron emission tomography (PET) imaging in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is broadly divided into 5 categories: management of solitary pulmonary nodule, mediastinal lymph node evaluation, detection of metastases, evaluation of response to chemoradiation and detection of recurrence. The purpose of this review is to discuss the current clinical applications of (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose PET in patients with NSCLC and to discuss future applications and developments of this technology.
正电子发射断层扫描(PET)成像在非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)患者中的潜在用途大致可分为5类:孤立性肺结节的管理、纵隔淋巴结评估、转移灶检测、放化疗反应评估以及复发检测。本综述的目的是讨论(18)F-氟脱氧葡萄糖PET在NSCLC患者中的当前临床应用,并探讨该技术的未来应用和发展。
