Abstract

Prescriptions for the positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) in adult cancer patients are based on the results of multicenter studies, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses. Thus, published international guidelines help nuclear medicine specialists, oncologists and radiologists in determining the most appropriate diagnostic algorithms for each patient with the purpose of selecting the most appropriate treatment as well as allowing the introduction of the new prognostic factors. Compared with adult patients, the use of PET-CT in pediatric oncology is somewhat limited due to the lack of systematic, large multicenter studies and, therefore, precise and clear guidelines. The reasons for the lack of the large studies may be the relatively low incidence of malignant neoplasms in pediatric practice and the fear for the delayed effects of exposure of ionizing radiation on the growing child's body. The purpose of this bibliographical review was to provide a summary of the use and the role of PET-CT in children with the most frequent malignancies.

正电子发射断层扫描-儿童肿瘤学中的计算机断层扫描

成人癌症患者使用正电子发射断层扫描(PET-CT)的处方是基于多中心研究、系统评价和荟萃分析的结果。因此，已出版的国际指南有助于核医学专家、肿瘤学家和放射科医生为每位患者确定最合适的诊断算法，以选择最合适的治疗方法，并允许引入新的预后因素。与成人患者相比，由于缺乏系统的大型多中心研究，因此缺乏精确清晰的指南，PET-CT在儿童肿瘤中的应用受到一定限制。缺乏大规模研究的原因可能是儿科实践中恶性肿瘤的发病率相对较低，以及担心电离辐射暴露对生长中的儿童身体的延迟影响。本文献综述的目的是总结PET-CT在儿童最常见恶性肿瘤中的应用和作用。
