In the February 2011 issue of Endocrine-Related Cancer, Deandreis et al. reported that increased FDG uptake was prognostic in patients with metastatic thyroid cancer. Fludeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) is routinely used in the staging and follow-up of patients with cancer. This study gives further evidence for the role of FDG-PET scanning in metastatic thyroid cancer, especially to identify patients with aggressive disease requiring systemic therapy.
在 2011 年 2 月的《内分泌相关癌症》杂志上,Deandreis 等人报告说,转移性甲状腺癌患者的 FDG 摄取增加与预后相关。氟脱氧葡萄糖正电子发射断层扫描(FDG-PET)常用于癌症患者的分期和随访。这项研究进一步证明了 FDG-PET 扫描在转移性甲状腺癌中的作用,特别是用于识别需要全身治疗的侵袭性疾病患者。
