Summary: Studies suggest that compared to MDCT alone, MDCT combined with [F-18]FDG PET/MRI can improve the diagnostic accuracy for preoperative M staging and resectability in patients with recurrent gastric cancer, with a significant advantage in evaluating M staging.

Summary: Lung cancer has the highest mortality rate among all tumor types, largely due to uncontrolled cellular proliferation. [F-18]FLT-PET offers a non-invasive method to accurately assess cell proliferation rates, improving the accuracy of diagnosis, staging, and therapy response evaluation for lung cancer.

Summary: This study compared the diagnostic accuracy of contrast-enhanced CT and whole-body PET/MRI in N and M staging in newly diagnosed breast cancer patients. The results showed that PET/MRI had significantly higher sensitivity and accuracy in N staging compared to CT, and also demonstrated better accuracy in M staging.

Summary: This study investigated the prognostic value of complete metabolic response (CMR) on F-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (F-18-FDG-PET/CT) after 3 cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in advanced high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC). The results showed that CMR can serve as a prognostic factor for both recurrence and death.

Summary: This study evaluated the role of FDG PET-CT in predicting pathological tumor response, nodal response, and survival in neoadjuvant therapy for esophageal cancer. The study found that metabolic tumor and nodal response can predict pathological tumor response and nodal response, and these responses are independent predictors of patient survival.

Summary: This study evaluates the efficacy of PET/CT in the preoperative diagnosis of regional lymph node metastasis in patients with colorectal cancer. The results show that PET/CT has high sensitivity and specificity, with a cutoff of 1.5 being the optimal diagnostic value.

Summary: Pancreatic Cancer (PC) has a poor prognosis with a low survival rate even after radical surgery, and the role of PET/CT in detecting PC remains controversial. However, PET/CT may play a role in assessing disease stage and potential resectability in resectable PC cases. Future developments in radiomics and new PET/CT radiotracers may further enhance the relevance of this imaging technique in pancreatic cancer management.

Summary: The review summarized the current status of radiomics research in predicting treatment response in non-small-cell lung cancer, indicating low quality, lack of reproducibility, and limited clinical evaluation. Efforts towards standardization and collaboration are necessary to identify reproducible radiomic predictors of response. Promising radiomic models need external validation and evaluation within the clinical pathway before being implemented for personalized treatment in NSCLC patients.

Summary: This study evaluated the value of (18)FDG PET/CT metabolic parameters in predicting hematological toxicity during chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced cervical cancer. The results showed that baseline BMACT% could help predict the severity of hematological toxicity.

Summary: This study retrospectively analyzed 183 PC patients' dual-time F-18-FDG PET/CT scans, showing significant differences in conventional metabolic parameters between early and delayed scans, with 19 out of 59 texture features exhibiting significant differences. Weak correlations were found between some texture features and conventional metabolic parameters. Resectable PC patients had fewer features with significant differences compared to unresectable PC patients.

Summary: This study evaluated the diagnostic performance of four different preoperative imaging workups for predicting lymph node metastases in endometrial cancer. The results showed that selective use of [F-18]FDG-PET/CT in patients with high-risk MRI findings detected lymph node metastases better than MRI alone.

Summary: This literature review provides a brief overview of the role of nuclear medicine in the diagnosis of obstetric and gynecological cancers. Nuclear medicine has proven to be reliable in diagnostic imaging in nuclear medicine and cancer treatment. [F-18]FDG PET/CT imaging plays a crucial role in investigating gynecological cancer.
