Outcomes for breast cancer vary depending on the cancer type, extent of disease, and patient's age. Early diagnosis and accurate follow-up of these patients are important for efficient patient management. In addition; early diagnosis of recurrent breast cancer is important for planning future therapeutic strategies which, if initiated without delay, aim either to cure or to prolong disease-free survival and to improve the quality of life of patients with cancer.
18F-FDG PET/CT-a new promising modality- which integrates functional and anatomic assessments has been introduced in the diagnosis of breast cancer. Its diagnostic value is based on the detection of metabolic changes preceding
