Diagnostic Relevance of 18F-FDG PET/CT in Newly Diagnosed Patients with Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance (MGUS) : Single- Center Experience

In conclusion, using newer sensitive imaging tool we detected 36 (9.2%) patients with serious pathologies before the first symptoms. Therefore we believe, that ¹F-FDG PET/CT imaging can be recommended to be done not only in all MGUS patients with suspected SMM or active MM, but also for early identification of other serious pathologies.DisclosuresNo relevant conflicts of interest to declare.
