摘要
Malignant melanoma is being diagnosed with an increasing incidence thoughout the world in recent years. It is curable by surgical excision in early stages of the disease and therefore, early diagnosis and treatment is essential for optimal outcome and can result in decreased morbidity and mortality from this cancer. The role of PET particularly in the diagnosis and initial staging has not been investigated adequately so far. This review focuses on clinical applications of PET in patients with malignant melanoma and discusses the role of fluorodeoxyglucose-PET in the initial staging and restaging by identifying metastatic and recurrent disease sites and the impact of this technique in the management of these patients. It summarizes the existing data evaluating the clinical significance of PET in the assessment of patients with malignant melanoma.
