Background Gastric cancer remains a leading cause of cancer‐related morbidity and mortality worldwide, and accurate imaging is critical for diagnosis, staging, recurrence detection, and prognostic assessment. Positron emission tomography (PET), traditionally performed using 18F‐fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG), has demonstrated variable performance in gastric ...

A variety of fungal pulmonary infections can produce radiologic findings that mimic malignancy. Distinguishing these infectious lesions from malignancy remains challenging for physicians. We describe one such case where fungal lung nodule mimicked metastasis on fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography ...

To investigate the clinical benefits of F18-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography and computed tomography ((18)F-FDG-PET/CT) over multi-detector row CT (MDCT) in preoperative staging of gastric cancer.FDG-PET/CT and MDCT were performed on 78 patients with gastric cancer pathologically diagnosed by endoscopy. The accuracy of radiologic staging

Quantitative F18‐fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography accurately characterizes peripheral nerve sheath tumors as malignant or benign [PDF]
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 ...

Comprehensive management of vulvovaginal cancers
Abstract Vulvar and vaginal cancers represent rare malignancies, with an incidence of 2.7 per 100,000 women for vulvar cancer, predominantly affecting women older than 60 years, although rising rates are observed in younger demographics. Approximately 90% of vulvar cancers are squamous cell carcinoma and frequently are associated with human ...

F18‑fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography for bone hemangiopericytoma
Bone hemangiopericytoma (HPC) is extremely rare, and its clinical manifestations and radiographic features are nonspecific. There are few case reports about application of F18-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in HPC.
