Overview
Other imaging studies for esophageal cancer include positron emission tomography scanning with 18-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG-PET). FDG-PET is a noninvasive staging modality that is more sensitive than CT or EUS for the detection of distant metastases.
Other Imaging Studies
FDG-PET
- FDG-PET is a noninvasive staging modality that is more sensitive than CT or EUS for the detection of distant metastases.[1][2][3]
- In 20% of cases, management of esophageal cancer was changed after being scanned with FDG-PET.[2]
- FDG-PET siginificantly improves the detection of stage IV esophageal cancer.
