Assessment of Fluorodeoxyglucose F18–Labeled Positron Emission Tomography for Diagnosis of High-Risk Lung Nodules [PDF]
JAMA Surgery, 2018 Clinicians rely heavily on fluorodeoxyglucose F18-labeled positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) imaging to evaluate lung nodules suspicious for cancer. We evaluated the performance of FDG-PET for the diagnosis of malignancy in differing populations with varying cancer prevalence.To determine the performance of FDG-PET/computed tomography (CT) in ...

JGH Open, Volume 7, Issue 12, Page 1003-1005, December 2023., 2023 We experienced a rare case with pancreatic adenosquamous carcinoma (PASC) that invaded nearby organs via the retention cyst wall. We need to account for possible invasion of the cyst wall and nearby organs in treatment of pancreatic cancer accompanied with a retention cyst or pseudocyst.

Quantitative F18‐fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography accurately characterizes peripheral nerve sheath tumors as malignant or benign [PDF]
Cancer, 2009 AbstractBACKGROUND:Correct pretreatment classification is critical for optimizing diagnosis and treatment of patients with peripheral nerve sheath tumors (PNSTs). The aim of this study was to evaluate whether F18‐fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG PET) can differentiate malignant (MPNST) from benign PNSTs.METHODS:Thirty‐four adult ...
