ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the value of whole body 18F-FDG PET/CT in the detection of recurrence/metastasis of cervical cancer.Methods A retrospective study was performed on 95 patients with cervical cancer who underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT after treatment.The lesion characteristics on 18F-FDG PET/CT were assessed visually and semi-quantitatively.A final diagnosis was confirmed by histopathology,diagnostic treatment and clinical follow-up imaging.The data were analyzed by Kappa test.Results 18 F-FDG PET/CT was positive in 54 patients,including 24 with local recurrence and 30 with distant metastases.The sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of 18F-FDG PET/CT for the detection of recurrence/metastasis of cervical cancer were 98.1% (52/53),95.2% (40/42) and 96.8% (92/95),respectively.The positive predictive and negative predictive value were 96.3% (52/54) and 97.6% (40/41),respectively.18F-FDG PET/CT showed concordant results with pathological/clinical follow-up findings (Kappa =0.936,P<0.05).Conclusion 18F-FDG PET/CT is a sensitive and specific modality for the detection of recurrence/metastasis of cervical cancer and might be useful for further treatment plan.
