A meta-analysis exploring the role of PET and PET-CT in the management of potentially resectable colorectal cancer liver metastases
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Positron emission tomography (PET), alone or combined with computed tomography (CT), potentially enhances detection of occult metastatic colorectal cancer.
METHODS: We compared the impact of PET/PET-CT with conventional imaging, versus conventional imaging alone, in patients with potentially resectable colorectal cancer liver metastases. MEDLINE, EMBASE, and CENTRAL were searched for studies investigating PET/PET-CT to determine …
