PET/CT has been shown to help localize head and neck cancers and provide more accurate staging, post-treatment assessment, and restaging than standard imaging. PET/CT detects synchronous and metachronous cancers and sequelae of therapy and provides prognostic information for each patient. Information provided by PET/CT allows for more individualized therapeutic and surveillance plans for patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
正电子发射断层显像/X线计算机体层成像(PET/CT)已被证明有助于对头颈部癌症进行定位,并且与标准成像相比,能提供更准确的分期、治疗后评估和再分期。PET/CT可检测同步和异时性癌症以及治疗后遗症,并为每位患者提供预后信息。PET/CT提供的信息有助于为头颈部鳞状细胞癌患者制定更个性化的治疗和监测计划。
