The use of PET/CT has been advocated in the management of ovarian cancer as a diagnostic strategy to assist in patient management. To date, data in the peer reviewed literature support the argument that findings on PET/CT reveal evidence of the extent of disease and may be helpful in documenting disease recurrence. However, it remains to be determined through the conduct of phase 3 randomized trials if the information generated will be useful in predicting benefit of a management plan specifically selected based on the results of this expensive radiographic procedure.
正电子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描(PET/CT)在卵巢癌的管理中被提倡作为一种诊断策略,以协助患者管理。迄今为止,同行评议文献中的数据支持这样的观点,即 PET/CT 的发现揭示了疾病的范围,并可能有助于记录疾病的复发。然而,通过进行 3 期随机试验,仍然需要确定生成的信息是否有助于预测管理计划的获益,具体来说,是基于这一昂贵的影像学检查结果选择的管理计划。
