Abstract EN
Purpose.
To provide a first evidence-based review of the literature on the role of fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography and positron emissiontomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET and PET/CT) in patients with colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) undergoing selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) with yttrium-90 (90Y) microspheres.
Methods.
A comprehensive computer literature search was conducted to find relevant published articles on whole-body FDG-PET or PET/CT in patients with CRLM undergoing SIRT.
Results.
We identified 19 studies including 833 patients with CRLM undergoing SIRT.
The role of FDG-PET or PET/CT was analysed in treatment planning, treatment response evaluation, and as prognostic tool.
Conclusion.
FDG-PET and PET/CT provide additional information in treatment evaluation of CRLM patients treated with SIRT and may have a role in treatment planning and patient selection.
FDG-PET/CT is emerging as good prognostic tool in these patients.
