FDG PET/CT in carcinoma of unknown primary Kwee TC; Basu S; Cheng G; Alavi AEur J Nucl Med Mol Imaging 2010[Mar]; 37 (3): 635-44Carcinoma of unknown primary (CUP) is a heterogeneous group of metastatic malignancies in which a primary tumor could not be detected despite thorough diagnostic evaluation. Because of its high sensitivity for the detection of lesions, combined (18)F-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG PET)/computed tomography (CT) may be an excellent alternative to CT alone and conventional magnetic resonance imaging in detecting the unknown primary tumor. This article will review the use, diagnostic performance, and utility of FDG PET/CT in CUP and will discuss challenges and future considerations in the diagnostic management of CUP.|*Fluorodeoxyglucose F18[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Image Interpretation, Computer-Assisted[MESH]|Neoplasms, Unknown Primary/*diagnostic imaging[MESH]|Positron-Emission Tomography/*methods[MESH]|Tomography, X-Ray Computed/*methods[MESH] |
