The application of < sup > 18 < /sup > F-FDG-PET/CT in gastric cancerstaging and factors affecting its sensitivity

CONCLUSION: Fluorine-18-FDG PET/CT is a valuable diagnostic method in gastric cancer patients which significantly contributes to determining the TNM stage and thus helps choose correct patient management. Histology and primary tumor stage as well as patient cohorts in which these factors may vary should be considered when evaluating results to decrease a chance of a false negative readout.PMID:33866341 | DOI:10.1967/s002449912308
