“…This is supported by the fact that the majority of the patients had a history of malignancy or had been diagnosed with malignancy on the diagnosis of IgG4‐RD, and that many patients with IgG4‐RD had multiple organ involvement and lymphomas. Currently, patients with malignancy, especially lymphoma, require routine PET/CT imaging for disease staging and predicting the prognosis . Therefore, it might be reasonable to perform PET/CT in patients with IgG4‐RD.…”

“…PET imaging is progressively being incorporated for staging and response assessment in a number of malignancies ( e.g. , lymphoma) [ 38 ]. In the context of GEP-NETs, however, it would be only applicable to highly proliferative or poorly differentiated tumors, as guidelines have been specifically developed for the 18 FDG radionuclide.…”

Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs) are a family of neoplasms with a complex spectrum of clinical behavior. Although generally more indolent than carcinomas, once they progress beyond surgical resectability, they are essentially incurable. Systemic treatment options have substantially expanded in recent years for the management of advanced disease. Imaging plays a major role in new drug development, as it is the main tool used to objectively evaluate response to novel agents. However, current standard response criteria have proven suboptimal for the assessment of the antiproliferative effect of many targeted agents, particularly in the context of slow-growing tumors such as well-differentiated NETs. The aims of this article are to discuss the advantages and limitations of conventional radiological techniques and standard response assessment criteria and to review novel imaging modalities in development as well as alternative cancer- and therapy-specific criteria to assess drug efficacy in the field of GEP-NETs.

Background: To investigate the use of fused positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) compared to contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) in the follow-up of treated gastric malignancies, all data were collected and analyzed retrospectively, enrolling 68 patients (18 females and 50 males) (their age range = 34-73 years). The patients had been referred to a private imaging center for their assessment by PET/CT. Results: Adenocarcinoma was present in 73.5%, lymphoma was present in 23.5%, and malignant carcinoid was found in 3% of cases. All patients had received at least one treatment method including endoscopic/surgical resection, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. By PET/CT, gastric recurrence/residual was depicted in 30 patients (47.0%) compared 46 patients (67.5%) as detected by CECT, and this was statistically significant (P value = 0.006), nodal metastasis was present in 18 patients (26.5%) compared to 26 patients (38%) as detected by CECT (P value = 0.143), and distant metastasis was present in 18 patients (26.5%) compared to 24 patients (35%) as depicted by CECT (P value = 0.265). Conclusion: PET/CT offered a useful diagnostic modality as compared to CECT for follow-up evaluation of cases with treated gastric malignancies through a precise detection of the gastric lesions but it had rather comparable results in the detection of nodal and distant metastases.
