The role of 18F-FDG PET/CT in soft tissue sarcoma

none8noSoft tissue sarcomas (STS) are highly fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (F-FDG)-avid tumours. PET seems to be effective for the assessment of the extent of disease. However, the use of PET to stratify STS into different risk histotypes still remains controversial. Our aim was to evaluate F-FDG uptake in different STS types and to assess the prognostic value of the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax).nonenoneSambri, Andrea; Bianchi, Giuseppe; Longhi, Alessandra; Righi, Alberto; Donati, Davide Maria; Nanni, Cristina; Fanti, Stefano; Errani, CostantinoSambri, Andrea; Bianchi, Giuseppe; Longhi, Alessandra; Righi, Alberto; Donati, Davide Maria; Nanni, Cristina; Fanti, Stefano; Errani, Costantin
