Die aktuelle Datenlage spricht für den primären Einsatz der 18 F-FDG-PET/CT [8,[50][51][52][53][54][55][56], allerdings sollte die Kostenübernahme im ambulanten Bereich vorab geklärt werden. Sofern dies nicht zur Verfügung steht, soll die initiale Ausbreitungsdiagnostik ein CT-Thorax/Abdomen und MRT-Schädel beinhalten [57].…”

The 18 F-FDG PET TC led to a change in tumor staging more than a third of patients, while in the diagnosis of recurrence, highlighted unknown metastatic localizations, especially at the level of the bone with important impact on the management of MCC patients (16)(17)(18).…”
