There is a growing body of evidence that point to the value of 18F fluoro-deoxyglucose-PET/CT in the management of head and neck cancer (HNC) patients and predicting patient-related outcomes. FDG-PET/CT changes the baseline staging (compared with CT or MR imaging), guides appropriate therapy selection, separates the responders and non-responders for therapy assessment, adds value to clinical assessment in follow-up, and predicts patient survival outcomes. FDG-PET/CT can identify the recurrences in earlier stages and individualize follow-up regimens in HNC patients. This article reviews the value of FDG-PET/CT in management strategy and survival outcome of HNC patients.
越来越多的证据表明,18F氟脱氧葡萄糖-PET/CT在头颈部癌(HNC)患者的管理及预测患者相关预后方面具有重要价值。FDG-PET/CT改变了基线分期(与CT或磁共振成像相比),指导合适的治疗选择,区分治疗评估中的反应者和无反应者,为随访中的临床评估增加价值,并预测患者的生存结果。FDG-PET/CT能够在早期识别复发情况,并使HNC患者的随访方案个体化。本文综述了FDG-PET/CT在HNC患者管理策略和生存结果方面的价值。
