The adverse impact of surveillance intervals on the sensitivity of FDG-PET/CT for the detection of distant metastases in head and neck cancer patients

Abstract: The presence of distant metastases at initial evaluation influences treatment selection, since no effective systemic treatment for disseminated head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is currently available. The reported sensitivity for the detection of distant metastases by contrast-enhanced (ce)CT and FDG-PET(/CT) differs substantially between studies. We hypothesized that these sensitivity values are highly dependent on the reference standard use, e.g., follow-up term. Therefore, we analyze our result… Show more

“…Senft et al [10] odporúčajú realizovať PET/ CT vyšetrenie u všetkých pa cientov s rizikovými faktormi (MTS vo viac ako troch LU, bilaterálne MTS postihnutie LU, MTS v LU väčšej ako 6 cm, lokalizácia MTS v LU supraklavikulárne, lokoregionálna recidíva). V skupine 46 pa cientov s rizikovými faktormi detegovali na základe PET/ CT vyšetrenia M1 u 16 pa cientov (35 %), a to u 6 (13 %) v rámci stagingu (predliečebne) a u 10 pri restagingu.…”
