18F-FDG PET/CT as a Diagnostic Tool in Patients with Extracervical Carcinoma of Unknown Primary Site: A Literature Review
2011
Background.
Carcinoma of unknown primary (CUP) represents a heterogeneous group of metastatic malignancies for which no primary tumor site can be identified after extensive diagnostic workup. Failure to identify the primary site may negatively influence patient management. The aim of this review was to evaluate 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) as a diagnostic tool in patients with extracervical CUP.
