Abstract

This study was performed by the PET working group under Japan Radioisotope Association. On the basis of the results of survey, clinical and economic efficacy of PET using 2- [F-18] -fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) in the diagnosis and management of breast cancer was analysed retrospectively.<BR>The accuracy of FDG-PET resulted in high value (94%) in the regional stage of breast cancer. FDG-PET also could potentially detect axillary lymph node metastases and the accuracy was 85%. By reducing axillary lymph node dissection in the nearly 50% of candidates for breast conservation therapy with negative PET scans, FDG-PET would be expected to save 1.6 billion yen per year.
