Ulus Cerrahi Derg. 2013 Jun 1;29(2):76-80. doi: 10.5152/UCD.2013.42. eCollection 2013.

Abstract

Positron Emission Tomography/Computerized Tomography (PET/CT) is an important assessment method in restaging of oncology patients. Its ability to detect the metabolic/functional changes in patients with colorectal cancer during the early stages, in which morphological changes cannot be documented, is significantly superior to other imaging modalities.

Keywords: Colorectal cancer; PET-CT; restaging.
