Abstract:
FDG-PET/CT has an established role in the initial staging of locally advanced cervical cancers, particularly in evaluation of nodal disease and distant metastases. It is common practice to perform FDG-PET/CT 3 months postcompletion of chemoradiotherapy as it can predict outcome and be used to tailor management, including adjuvant therapy and follow-up. It is also routinely used prior to pelvic exenterative surgery to ensure there is no disease outside the pelvis. There is growing evidence that FDG-PET-derived parameters are prognostic and could potentially be used to tailor therapy. This review outlines the use of FDG-PET/CT imaging in cervical cancer.
