Extent of Metastatic Breast Cancer Accurately Reflected in FDG-PET Scan.
TORONTO -- [blank.sup.18]Fluorodeoxyglucose-PET scans are more sensitive than conventional imaging at discerning the nature and extent of suspected. metastatic breast cancer and for guiding the therapeutic approach, Dr. Mohei M. Abou-Zied said at the annual meeting of the Society of Nudear Medicine.
[blank.sup.18]Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-PET scans were useful in determining the recurrence of breast cancer and its extent, were more accurate than traditional approaches for differentiating between benign and metastatic lesions, and could pinpoint the sites of invasive disease in patient with rising tumor markers.
Dr. Abou-Zied and investigators at the State University of New York at Buffalo evaluated 49 women with suspected metastases between September 1996 and September 2000. All participants were previously treated for their breast cancer.
FDG-PET scans were ordered for 21 who appeared to have invasive breast cancer based on the results of conventional studies. New metastatic lesions were evident on FDC-PET in 10 of the 21 women; in 1 patient, ...
