Abstract:
PET has been founded as a useful technique in the staging, restaging, prognostication, and treatment planning for numerus cancers, with an incremental application in precision oncology. This paper summarized the current state-of-the-art application of PET/CT in the management of patients with peripheral nerve tumors. Furthermore, the potential clinical uses of emerging themes and technological advances are reviewed, consisting hybrid PET/MR imaging and alternative radiotracers for the application in peripheral nerve oncology.

Nerves
The nerve is a bundle of axons that serves as the communication highway in the PNS. Each nerve is ensheathed in a protective layer of connective tissue called the epineurium. This outermost layer safeguards the nerve and supports the...
