Diagnostic value of integrated ¹⁸F-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography in recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer: accuracy of patient selection for secondary cytoreduction in 134 patients.
CONCLUSION: Compared with CECT, ¹⁸F-FDG-PET/CT shows higher sensitivity in lesion-based analysis and better accuracy of patient selection for secondary cytoreduction. However, there is still a need for integration of the results of ¹⁸F-FDG-PET/CT, CECT, and CA-125 levels to aid treatment planning.
