Progress of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose PET-CT in multimodality treatment of colorectal cancer / 国际肿瘤学杂志

ABSTRACT

The efficacy of colorectal cancer treatment is not very satisfactory.Conventional morphologic imagings are limited in the diagnosis and in the applications of multimodality treatment for colorectal cancer.18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose PET-CT can play a pivotal role in detecting metabolism changes and in the localization of lesions concurrently.It is valuable in the assessment of responses to therapy,prediction of prognosis and selecting modality management and monitoring postoperative recurrence.The right-moment and proper application of PET-CT can increase the therapeutic efficacy of colorectal cancer.
