Abstract

Objective Until now, serum tumor markers, physical exam- recurrence or metastasis, 13 of whom were diagnosed ination, and conventional imaging modalities, such as CT or histologically. Measured across all patients, PET/CT MRI, have been used in assessment of recurrence of scored 97.3% on sensitivity, 71.4% on specificity, a cervical cancer after treatment. However, CT and MRI positive predictive value of 90%, a negative predictive provide only anatomical data, which makes analysis of value of 90.9%, and an accuracy of 90.2%. PET/CT post-treatment change difficult. This study aims to explore yielded only one false negative diagnosis and four false the effectiveness of PET/CT, a new scanning device that positives. combines PET and CT, in evaluation of cervical cancer Conclusion As F-18 FDG PET/CT has high sensitivity and lesions in patients with suspected recurrence. negative predictive value in diagnosis of recurrent cervical Methods We studied 51 patients suspected of recurrence cancers, it is expected that it will be useful for clinical among those who underwent F-18 FDG PET/CT for cervical determination of recurrence and prevention of unnecessary cancer follow-up at Gachon University Gil Hospital between additional treatments. The hope is that a future study on a June 2006 and August 2009.
