OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of contrast-enhanced F-18 fluoro-2-deoxyglucose (F-18 FDG) PET/computed tomography (CT) in restaging of tongue carcinoma.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: Retrospectively analysis of carcinoma tongue patients (n = 110) who were treated and referred for FDG PET/CT. Histopathological examination and clinical or imaging follow-up were taken as gold standard.
RESULTS: Of 110 patients, FDG PET/CT detected FDG avid lesions in 69 (62.7%) patients. Sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic accuracy of FDG PET/CT were 92.9%, 90.0% and 91.8%, respectively, for residual/recurrence disease detection (P < 0.05). Additionally, in six patients, metachronous primaries were also detected [lung (4), esophagus and lymphoma (1) each]. The mean maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) with 95% confidence interval for primary site recurrence, regional lymph nodes and metastatic lesions was 11.51 (9.53-13.48), 69 (62.7%) (7.88-11.48) and 8.94 (3.11-14.76), respectively.
CONCLUSION: FDG PET/CT demonstrates high diagnostic accuracy for detection of residual/recurrent disease in treated tongue cancer patients and PET/CT should be considered as first-line diagnostic investigation in these patients.
