The Application of PET/CT in Predicting and Evaluating the Therapeutic Response in Chemotherapy of Solid Tumor

Abstract

Three aspects of the application of PET/CT in solid tumor chemotherapy were summarized, including the selection of evaluation criteria, the proper time of using PET/CT in the evaluation and the parameters of PET/CT in evaluating the response of chemotherapy. It showed that when using PET/CT in the evaluation of chemotherapy efficacy, suitable evaluation method according to the different characteristics of tumor and chemotherapy should be chosen, and perfect designed researches needed to confirm the conclusions.
