摘要
Positron emission tomography (PET), a functional imaging modality, has provided the transition between the research environment and the clinical environment over the last 10 years. Its primary use is in the field of oncology, where it is being increasingly used in the management of several tumor types including esophageal cancer. 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose PET (FDG-PET) scans may also be used to distinguish between benign and malignant tumors, to identify different stages of tumor spread, to assess for tumor recurrence, and monitor the response to therapy of malignant diseases. This review aims to outline the current and future roles of PET scanning in the field of esophageal cancer. © Japan Esophageal Society and Springer-Verlag 2005.
