En la actualidad, la estadificación de los tumoresdel cuerpo uterino es esencialmente quirúrgica. Noexiste consenso ni protocolos definidos para elseguimiento de este tipo de neoplasias. Lastécnicas de diagnóstico por imagen son solicitadasa criterio del clínico, habitualmente ante lasospecha de recurrencia, recidiva o diseminaciónde la enfermedad. Las técnicas de imagenestructural (tomografía computarizada y resonanciamagnética) presentan ciertas limitaciones para ladetección de recurrencias. La tomografía poremisión de positrones es una técnica de imagenfuncional cuya utilidad se ha demostrado enmultitud de neoplasias, que está suscitando ungran interés en los últimos tiempos en el campo dela oncología ginecológica. Se ha realizado unanálisis de los resultados de la bibliografíacientífica disponible sobre la utilidad de estatécnica en los carcinomas endometriales y lossarcomas de útero, tanto en su diagnóstico inicialcomo en su seguimiento
Currently, uterine body tumors are basicallysurgically staged. Established consensus or definedprotocols for the follow up of these neoplasms arelacking. Imaging techniques are usually requestedbased on the clinicians criteria, usually suspicionof disease recurrence or progression. Structuralimaging techniques, such as computed tomographyor magnetic resonance imaging, present somelimitations in the detection of recurrent disease.Positron emission tomography is a functionalimaging technique with proven utility inneoplasms. In the last few years, interest in thistechnique has grown in the field of gynecologiconcology. We performed a literature review on theutility of positron emission tomography in the evaluation of endometrial cancers and uterinesarcomas, both in initial diagnosis and follow-up
