Abstract
Predictive and prognostic value of FDG-PET - Cancer Imaging Predictive and prognostic value of FDG-PET - The predictive and prognostic value of fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET) in nonsmall- cell lung carcinoma, colorectal carcinoma and lymphoma is discussed. The degree of FDG uptake is of prognostic value at initial presentation, after induction treatment prior to resection and in the case of relapse of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In locally advanced and advanced stages of NSCLC, FDG-PET has been shown to be predictive for clinical outcome at an early stage of treatment.Keywords
