Abstract
PET is a versatile imaging modality widely used in oncology for diagnosing, staging, predicting outcomes, and surveillance for a variety of cancers. In radiation oncology, combining PET and computed tomography imaging can markedly enhance treatment planning through improved target volume delineation. This review examines data and clinical approaches across 3 major cancer types to evaluate the role of PET in target volume delineation, with data and current approaches for thoracic, genitourinary, and head and neck malignancies detailed. Additionally, it emphasizes various practical applications of PET in radiation therapy planning, several of which have been recently demonstrated in clinical trials.
