“…Clinicians used the PET images as a "guide", and this led to changes in the dose or the initial planning for RT treatment in six cases (12 %). If we had used PET/CT to delineate the target volumes, the average impact might have been greater, in line with the findings of other authors [15,30].…”

“…We confirmed the stage change in all cases, regardless of whether the patient had been upstaged or downstaged and/or there was a potential impact on treatment To date, there has been little research prospectively assessing the overall impact of PET/CT on treatment decisions in SCCHN. Most studies assess the contribution of PET as a single modality in, for example, presurgical assessment [14], the optimization of RT planning [15] or just the estimation of the incidence of distant metastasis [16,17]. In contrast, we have assessed the overall impact of PET/CT (on surgery, RT and QT) in the routine activity of a multidisciplinary HNC Tumour Board.…”

“…[3] Pozitron emisyon tomografisi BT'nin daha duyarlı olması nedeniyle baş boyun kanserlerinde boyun yayılımı tespitinde BT veya MRG'den daha üstün olduğunu belirten çalışmalar vardır. [4,5] Bu çalışmamızın amacı kliniğimizde tedavi ettiğimiz baş boyun kanserli hastalarda PET/BT'nin lenf nodu yayılımı tespitindeki performansını değerlendirmek ve bu PET/BT'nin performansı standart bir diyagnostik araç olan MRG ile karşılaştırmaktır.…”

“…[4,5] Pozitron emisyon tomografisi BT ile hastaların %19-21'inde BT ve MRG'de izlenmeyen lenf nodu yayılımı saptanarak N evresinin değiştiği bildirilmiştir. [2] Bu nedenle PET/BT baş-boyun kanserlerinde lenf nodu yayılımının araştırılmasında seçilecek yöntem olarak önerilmiş olsa da bazen enflamatuvar lezyonlarda da yalancı pozitif olarak 18-FDG tutulumunun izlenebileceği akılda tutulmalıdır.…”
