Differences on metabolic behavior between intra and extrahepatic cholangiocarcinomas at 18 F-FDG –PET/CT: prognostic implication of metabolic parameters and tumor markers

ConclusionsIntra and extrahepatic cholangiocarcinomas behave differently on PET/CT, though no differences between both groups exist in its capacity to detect regional or distant disease. Metabolic parameters and levels of tumor markers seem to relate with tumor burden, impacting in prognosis.
