Diagnostic Performance of Post-Treatment F-18 FDG PET/CT for Detecting Recurrent Cervical Cancer
Background/Objectives: Cervical cancer recurrence after definitive treatment remains a major clinical challenge, and early detection may improve patient outcomes. This study evaluated the diagnostic performance of fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (F-18 FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) for detecting recurrent cervical cancer according to clinical context. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 1727 post-treatment PET/CT examinations obtained from 659 patients who achieved a complete respons …
