Abstract:Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is widely used for imaging urological neoplasms. This overview should help the urologist actively involved in oncology to assess the value of PET or PET/CT in each tumor entity. Besides prostate, testicular, renal, and bladder cancer less common urological malignancies like penile carcinoma and retroperitoneal masses are discussed. Differences in using PET/CT for primary diagnosis, staging, or restaging are outlined separately. Appropriate indications f… Show more
“…Sinnvoll ist der Einsatz jedoch erst ab einem PSA-Wert von 1,0 ng/ml, einer PSA-Verdoppelungszeit von < 6 Monaten und/oder einem Gleason-Score von > 7 (Müller et al 2012). Der PSA-Wert, der beispielsweise nach einer radikalen Prostatektomie nicht mehr nachweisbar sein sollte, ist der sensitivste Parameter in der onkologischen Nachsorge.…”

In this sample of 95 urologists there was high variability in the way clinicians used prostate needle biopsy pathology reports. The results of this survey underline that improved communication between urologists and pathologists is necessary.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
