Abstract

To compare the diagnostic competence of FAST-PET/MRI and PET/CT for whole-body staging of female patients suspect for a recurrence of a pelvic malignancy. 24 female patients with a suspected tumor recurrence underwent a PET/CT and subsequent PET/MRI examination. For PET/MRI readings a whole-body FAST-protocol was implemented. Two readers separately evaluated the PET/CT and FAST PET/MRI datasets regarding identification of all tumor lesions and qualitative assessment of visual lesion-to-background contrast (4-point ordinal scale). Tumor relapse was present in 21 of the 24 patients. Both, PET/CT and PET/MRI allowed for correct identification of tumor recurrence in 20 of 21 cases. Lesion-based sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and diagnostic accuracy for the detection of malignant lesions were 82%, 91%, 97%, 58% and 84% for PET/CT and 85%, 87%, 96%, 63% and 86% for PET/MRI, lacking significant differences. Furthermore, no significant difference for lesion-to-background contrast of malignant and benign lesions was found. FAST-PET/MRI provides a comparably high diagnostic performance for restaging gynecological cancer patients compared to PET/CT with slightly prolonged scan duration, yet ...Continue Reading

Cancer Metabolism

In order for cancer cells to maintain rapid, uncontrolled cell proliferation, they must acquire a source of energy. Cancer cells acquire metabolic energy from their surrounding environment and utilize the host cell nutrients to do so. Here is the latest research on cancer metabolism.
