Interventional locoregional treatment and metabolic response: advantages of using PET/CT in the evaluation of response to treatment.

CONCLUSIONS: PET/CT appears to perform well in the assessment of response to interventional therapies compared to conventional imaging, not only in terms of response evaluation but also as a possible prognostic tool. Nevertheless further prospective, homogenous studies are required to confirm these data, in particular for lung and bone lesions. PMID: 29166753 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
