The use of PET in assessing tumor response after neoadjuvant chemoradiation for rectal cancer
PURPOSE: To assess the correlation of 18F-FDG-PET (PET) response to pathological
response after neoadjuvant chemoradiation (CRT) for locally advanced rectal cancer.
METHODS AND MATERIALS: Twenty patients with locally advanced rectal cancer were
identified between 2001 and 2005. The median age was 57years (range 37–72) with 14
males and 6 females. All patients were staged with endorectal ultrasound and/or MRI, CT,
and PET. The clinical staging was T3N0M0 (16), T3N1M0 (2), and T3N0M1 (2). Restaging …
