Différents rôles de la TEP-TDM en sénologie: mise au point

PET/CT and breast cancer

“…In a study involving 111 patients, tumour size (≤10 mm) and low tumour grade were independent factors predicting FDG uptake [ 18 ] . It is possible that improved detection may occur in this particular group with the development of PET mammography [ 19 , 20 ] . A recent study involving 36 women using prone FDG PET and MRI (90 lesions) demonstrated a reduced false-negative rate from 27% to 9% making it potentially useful in deciding which lesion to biopsy, particularly in women with multiple suspicious nodules on MRI [ 21 ] .…”
