Why the study?
Does FDG-PET improve the detection of local recurrence and distant metastases in patients with sarcoma compared to CT and MRI?
Does FDG-PET improve the detection of local recurrence and distant metastases in patients with sarcoma compared to CT and MRI?
FDG-PET is highly sensitive for detecting local and distant recurrences of sarcoma, particularly in patients with extensive histories of surgery and radiation therapy.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
FDG-PET may aid sarcoma recurrence detection after surgery or radiation; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Johnson et al. (2003) studied this question.
