Advancements in hepatocellular carcinoma management: the role of 18F-FDG PET-CT in diagnosing portal vein tumor thrombosis.
Portal vein thrombosis, a relatively frequent complication associated with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and liver cirrhosis, is recognized as a significant global health concern. This is mainly due to these conditions' high prevalence and potentially severe outcomes. The aim of our study was to conduct a comprehensive literature review to evaluate the efficacy, accuracy, and clinical implications of 18F-FDG PET-CT in diagnosing and managing portal vein tumor thrombosis (PVTT) in patients with HCC. HCC, which accounts for 80% of liver malignancies, ranks as the fourth most prevalent cancer globally and is a significant contributor to cancer-related mortality. The majority of HCC patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage, leading to a deterioration in patient outcomes. Involvement of the portal vein is also a significant negative factor. This review analyzes the application of 18F-FDG PET-CT in the detection and management of PVTT in patients with HCC, with an emphasis on the importance of the maximum standardized uptake value as an essential diagnostic and prognostic marker. 18F-FDG PET-CT is invaluable for detecting recurrence and guiding management strategies, particularly in patients with high-grade HCC, and plays a pivotal role in differentiating malignant portal vein thrombi from their benign counterparts.
期刊介绍:
Nuclear Medicine Communications, the official journal of the British Nuclear Medicine Society, is a rapid communications journal covering nuclear medicine and molecular imaging with radionuclides, and the basic supporting sciences. As well as clinical research and commentary, manuscripts describing research on preclinical and basic sciences (radiochemistry, radiopharmacy, radiobiology, radiopharmacology, medical physics, computing and engineering, and technical and nursing professions involved in delivering nuclear medicine services) are welcomed, as the journal is intended to be of interest internationally to all members of the many medical and non-medical disciplines involved in nuclear medicine. In addition to papers reporting original studies, frankly written editorials and topical reviews are a regular feature of the journal.
