PET/CT in assessment of colorectal liver metastases: a comprehensive review with emphasis on 18F-FDG.
Approximately 25% of those who are diagnosed with colorectal cancer will develop colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) as their illness advances. Despite major improvements in both diagnostic and treatment methods, the prognosis for patients with CRLM is still poor, with low survival rates. Accurate employment of imaging methods is critical in identifying the most effective treatment approach for CRLM. Different imaging modalities are used to evaluate CRLM, including positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT). Among the PET radiotracers, fluoro-18-deoxyglucose (18F-FDG), a glucose analog, is commonly used as the primary radiotracer in assessment of CRLM. As the importance of 18F-FDG-PET/CT continues to grow in assessment of CRLM, developing a comprehensive understanding of this subject becomes imperative for healthcare professionals from diverse disciplines. The primary aim of this article is to offer a simplified and comprehensive explanation of PET/CT in the evaluation of CRLM, with a deliberate effort to minimize the use of technical nuclear medicine terminology. This approach intends to provide various healthcare professionals and researchers with a thorough understanding of the subject matter.
期刊介绍:
The Journal''s scope encompasses all aspects of metastasis research, whether laboratory-based, experimental or clinical and therapeutic. It covers such areas as molecular biology, pharmacology, tumor biology, and clinical cancer treatment (with all its subdivisions of surgery, chemotherapy and radio-therapy as well as pathology and epidemiology) insofar as these disciplines are concerned with the Journal''s core subject of metastasis formation, prevention and treatment.
