ROLE OF PET-CT IN ASSESMENT OF COLORECTAL CANCER
Ahmed Mohamed Rabie Mahmoud;
Abstract
relies on anatomic changes for primary diagnosis, staging and follow-up after chemotherapy and radiotherapy, PET-CT gives anatomic and metabolic information.
18F-FDG PET-CT plays an important role in the early detection of distant metastases, local recurrence and evaluation of post chemotherapy and radiotherapy tumor viability in patients with colorectal cancer.
Strict adherence to standardized protocols, technical procedures and good patient preparation are essential requirements to obtain optimum results.
In our study, PET/CT detected hepatic deposits, pulmonary masses, suprarenal deposits, sizable LNs and bone deposits. PET/CT provided useful information and had a considerable impact on disease management in a greater proportion of patients, enabling the detection of recurrent disease as early as possible with high accuracy in assessment of therapeutic response. It detected viable residual tumor cells in operative bed scar, small LNs, hepatic focal lesion, peritoneal deposits, pulmonary masses, bone deposits and supra renal deposits avoiding unnecessary surgeries.
