| Abstract: | Positron emission tomography (PET) is considered a potentially useful diagnostic tool in the management of a variety of malignancies. It has been used for staging, evaluating recurrent and metastatic disease and tumoral response to neoadjuvant therapy, and providing prognostic information. However, some data are available about its definitive role in the colorectal cancer (CRC) population. In this chapter, the most recent evidence and future perspectives are presented for [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose PET in managing patients with CRC. © 2008 Springer Milan. |
