ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical feasibility of FDG-PET scan in selection of patients with pelvic recurrence of cervical cancer for surgical treatment.METHODS:
From Jun. 2001 to Oct. 2002, whole body FDG-PET scan findings were compared with findings of CT, MRI, and pathologic reports in 24 patients with pelvic recurrence of cervical cancer. PET scan was obtained with a GE Advance PET scanner, beginning at 60 minutes after injection of 370-555 MBq (10- 15 mCi) of 18F FDG. Regional scan was also obtained if needed. Uptake exceeding 2.5 SUV was determined as a positive finding.RESULTS:
Among these 24 patients, 10 patients had metastatic lesions at pelvic lymphnodes (4), para- aortic lymphnodes (3), mediastinal lympnnodes (1), lung (4), and bone (1). Among 14 patients with no metastasis, 10 patients underwent surgical treatment but the operations were abandoned in 2 patients due to lymphnodes metastasis and pelvic peritoneal spreads that confused as normal FDG uptake of the intestines pre- operatively. Among 8 patients whom the operation was completed, 3 patients received pelvic exenteration, 2 patients received CORT, and 3 patients received LEER.CONCLUSION:
FDG-PET is clinically feasible in selection of patients with pelvic recurrence of cervical cancer for surgical treatment.
