Abstract

Background: In the clinical management of advanced stage head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, the use of hybrid [¹⁸F]FDG-PET imaging is well established. However, there is ongoing debate regarding the optimal frequency of hybrid PET scans to be included in follow-up protocols, particularly if the initial post-therapeutic scan is negative.

Methods: We conducted a single-center 10-year retrospective study involving all patients who underwent hybrid PET scans for the follow-up of advanced stage head and neck cancer. A total of 285 patients were included.

Results: Out of 199 patients with a negative 3-month hybrid PET, 15% subsequently developed a recurrence during further follow-up. Notably, 90% of these recurrences were detected by hybrid PET.

Conclusion: Fifteen percent of patients with a negative 3-month hybrid PET experienced a recurrence. Given that the majority of recurrences were detected by hybrid PET scans, there is a compelling argument for incorporating regular repetitive scans during follow-up.

通过混合[18F]FDG-PET检测晚期头颈部鳞状细胞癌的复发情况

背景：在晚期头颈部鳞状细胞癌的临床治疗中，混合[18F]FDG-PET成像的应用已得到广泛认可。然而，关于混合 PET 扫描纳入随访方案的最佳频率，尤其是在首次治疗后扫描结果为阴性的情况下，一直存在争议：我们进行了一项为期 10 年的单中心回顾性研究，涉及所有接受混合 PET 扫描的晚期头颈癌随访患者。共纳入 285 例患者：结果：在199名3个月混合正电子发射计算机断层扫描结果为阴性的患者中，有15%的患者在后续随访中复发。值得注意的是，90%的复发是通过混合 PET 检测到的：结论：3 个月混合 PET 阴性的患者中有 15% 复发。鉴于大多数复发是通过混合 PET 扫描发现的，因此在随访期间定期进行重复扫描是有说服力的。
