“ FDG PET showed no clear advantage for the staging of lung cancer with predominant GGO because of the low incidences of nodal and distant metastases.” Is There a Role for FDG PET in the Management of Lung Cancer Manifesting Predominantly as Ground-Glass Opacity? Kim TJ et al AJR 2012; 198:83-88
“ In summary, when CT shows a pulmonary nodule with predominant GGO, FDG PET frequently produces negative results. Furthermore, FDG PET is unlikely to detect lymph nodes or distant metastasis because of their low prevalence and, thus, does not appear to offer a clear advantage in patients with lung cancer manifesting as predominately GGO.” Is There a Role for FDG PET in the Management of Lung Cancer Manifesting Predominantly as Ground-Glass Opacity?
