Abstract:
Background and purpose:The radio-labeled glucose analogue F-18-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose(FDG) is the most widely used tracer in PET imaging,and its application in oncology has become one of the standard imaging modalities.But FDG uptake is not tumor specifi c.The aim of this paper was to study the endoscopic result with the patients of 18F-FDG accumulations in gastrointestinal tract after PET-CT examinations.Methods:Thirtythree patients with 18F-FDG accumulations in gastrointestinal tract were correlated with endoscopic and histopathologic results.Results:Of these,14 patients were harboring newly occurring cancers in gastrointestinal tract(esophagus cancer,2 patients;gastric cancer,5 patients;colorectal cancer,7 patients) .Eight patients were identified with precancerous lesions(adenoma,4 patients;hyperplastic polyp,1 patient;Barrett’s esophagus,1 patient;intestinal metaplasia of the gastric mucosa,2 patients) .Inflammatory lesions were detected in six patients(active colitis,5 patients;anastomotic leakage,1 patient) .In fi ve patients,PET/CT showed normal fi ndings in endoscopic examinations.The false positive rate of PET-CT was 33.33%(11/33) .Conclusion:Endoscopic result is important for patients of 18F-FDG accumulations in gastrointestinal patient.
