ABSTRACT

18F-flurodeoxyglucose(FDG) PET/CT plays an important role in early diagnosis,clinical staging,therapeutic efficacy evaluation,and recurrence monitoring of colorectal cancer (CRC).More and more scholars have focused on the value of PET/CT in CRC prognosis,intending to find out whether PET/CT can predict the survival outcomes (disease-free survival,progression-free survival and overall survival) of CRC patients after radical resection,in liver metastasis stage or in multiple metastases stage.This review summarizes the clinical value of 18F-FDG PET/CT for the prognosis of CRC.
