the prognosis and survival of patients with cancer. CT, considered the primary method of investigation because of its low cost and widespread availability, provides high-resolution anatomic details but may underestimate the actual tumor burden by overlooking small tumor clusters in areas of distorted anatomy after treatment. 18F-FDG PET is an effective whole-body imaging technique that detects metabolic changes preceding structural findings. However, the specificity of PET is impaired by false-positive or equivocal results attributable to the lack of precise anatomic landmarks and to sites of increased 18F-FDG uptake of nonmalignant etiology. PET/CT provides fused images that demonstrate the complementary roles of functional and anatomic assessments in the diagnosis of cancer recurrence through the precise localization of suspected 18F-FDG foci and their characterization as malignant or benign. In addition to the accurate diagnosis and definition of the whole extent of recurrent cancer, PET/CT has an impact on patient management because it can assist in defining potential candidates for surgery for cure, planning the appropriate surgical or radiotherapy approach, and referring patients with unresectable disease to other therapeutic options. </p> </div> </div> <p class="disclaimer" id="disclaimer"> <a href="/disclaimer/" target="_blank" ga_category="literature_resources" ga_action="disclaimer_link" ga_label="under_abstract">PubMed Disclaimer</a> </p> <div class="similar-articles" id="similar"> <h2 class="title"> Similar articles </h2> <ul class="articles-list" id="similar-articles-list"> <li class="full-docsum"> <div class="docsum-content" style="display:inline;"> <a class="docsum-title" href="/17204719/" ref="article_id=17204719&linksrc=similar_articles_link&ordinalpos=1" data-ga-category="similar_article" data-ga-action="17204719" data-ga-label=""> Monitoring cancer treatment with PET/CT: does it make a difference? </a> <div class="docsum-citation full-citation"> <span class="docsum-authors full-authors">Weber WA, Figlin R.</span> <span class="docsum-authors short-authors">Weber WA, et al.</span> <span class="docsum-journal-citation full-journal-citation">J Nucl Med. 2007 Jan;48 Suppl 1:36S-44S.</span> <span class="docsum-journal-citation short-journal-citation">J Nucl Med. 2007.</span> <span class="citation-part">PMID: <span class="docsum-pmid">17204719</span></span> <span class="publication-type spaced-citation-item citation-part">Review.</span> </div> </div> </li> <li class="full-docsum"> <div class="docsum-content" style="display:inline;"> <a class="docsum-title" href="/17204717/" ref="article_id=17204717&linksrc=similar_articles_link&ordinalpos=2" data-ga-category="similar_article" data-ga-action="17204717" data-ga-label=""> Integrating PET and PET/CT into the risk-adapted therapy of lymphoma. </a> <div class="docsum-citation full-citation"> <span class="docsum-authors full-authors">Kasamon YL, Jones RJ, Wahl RL.</span> <span class="docsum-authors short-authors">Kasamon YL, et al.</span> <span class="docsum-journal-citation full-journal-citation">J Nucl Med. 2007 Jan;48 Suppl 1:19S-27S.</span> <span class="docsum-journal-citation short-journal-citation">J Nucl Med. 2007.</span> <span class="citation-part">PMID: <span class="docsum-pmid">17204717</span></span> <span class="publication-type spaced-citation-item citation-part">Review.</span> </div> </div> </li> <li class="full-docsum"> <div class="docsum-content" style="display:inline;"> <a class="docsum-title" href="/17418153/" ref="article_id=17418153&linksrc=similar_articles_link&ordinalpos=3" data-ga-category="similar_article" data-ga-action="17418153" data-ga-label=""> Increased (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake in benign, nonphysiologic lesions found on whole-body positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT): accumulated data from four years of experience with PET/CT. </a> <div class="docsum-citation full-citation"> <span class="docsum-authors full-authors">Metser U, Even-Sapir E.</span> <span class="docsum-authors short-authors">Metser U, et al.</span> <span class="docsum-journal-citation full-journal-citation">Semin Nucl Med. 2007 May;37(3):206-22. doi: 10.1053/j.semnuclmed.2007.01.001.</span> <span class="docsum-journal-citation short-journal-citation">Semin Nucl Med. 2007.</span> <span class="citation-part">PMID: <span class="docsum-pmid">17418153</span></span> </div> </div> </li> <li class="full-docsum"> <div class="docsum-content" style="display:inline;"> <a class="docsum-title" href="/19181468/" ref="article_id=19181468&linksrc=similar_articles_link&ordinalpos=4" data-ga-category="similar_article" data-ga-action="19181468" data-ga-label=""> Integrated contrast-enhanced diagnostic whole-body PET/CT as a first-line restaging modality in patients with suspected metastatic recurrence of breast cancer. </a> <div class="docsum-citation full-citation"> <span class="docsum-authors full-authors">Dirisamer A, Halpern BS, Flöry D, Wolf F, Beheshti M, Mayerhoefer ME, Langsteger W.</span> <span class="docsum-authors short-authors">Dirisamer A, et al.</span> <span class="docsum-journal-citation full-journal-citation">Eur J Radiol. 2010 Feb;73(2):294-9. doi: 10.1016/j.ejrad.2008.10.031.
