18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography in management of pancreatic cystic tumors.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVES:To evaluate the effectiveness of PET in differentiating malignant from benign pancreatic cystic tumors. METHODS:Between 2009 and 2010, all patients with pancreatic cystic tumors who had PET, triple phase contrast computed tomography (CT) and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) were reviewed. Clinicopathological characteristics and final histology were correlated with preoperative PET, CT and EUS to assess the value of each modality in detecting malignant from benign lesions for clinical decision-making. RESULTS:Twenty of a total of 116 patients with pancreatic cystic tumors had 18F-FDG PET because of diagnostic difficulties after evaluation with conventional modalities. Sensitivity and specificity of PET in differentiating malignant from benign pancreatic cystic tumors were 100% and 93.75%, with an accuracy of 95%. PET had the best sensitivity, specificity and accuracy for detecting malignant cystic tumors compared with CT and EUS. In 5 cases, the PET results altered the treatment options completely to follow-up instead of surgery (n=2), limited resection instead of Whipple's resection (n=1), and surgery instead of follow-up (n=2). CONCLUSIONS:PET is an accurate, non-invasive method to distinguish malignant from benign pancreatic cystic tumors and can be used as an adjunct to facilitate clinical decision making.

  • Preliminary studies of 99mTc-BnAO and its analogues: synthesis, radiolabeling and in vitro cell uptake.

    abstract:INTRODUCTION:(99m)Tc-BnAO is one of the nonnitroimidazole hypoxia markers with the highest citation and could be potentially useful in both oncology and other clinical applications. However, it appears inferior in vitro due to lower absolute accumulation and smaller anoxic/normoxic uptake ratio. It is possible that the...
