Pre-therapeutic [18F]FDG PET for staging purpose was performed on a Sensation 64 Biograph PET/CT scanner (Siemens, Erlangen, Germany) with injected activity of 340 MBq (delay 60 min p.i).
A right para-aortic lymph node dissection was carried out routinely for staging purpose in pancreatic head tumours and followed by pancreaticoduodenectomy in case no metastatic lymph nodes were found at frozen section pathology.
A drawback of most studies published in the field of asymptomatic VTEs in cancer patients is the retrospective study design as well as the close association to CT scans mainly performed for staging purpose.
When only mucin pools are found on gross examination, the entire suspicious zone must be sampled for accurate staging purpose, as residual viable tumour cells can be present upon microscopic examination in most cases [ 7].
108 patients underwent one basal F-FDG PET-CT study for tumor staging purpose and they were subjected to radical therapy (surgical intervention or radical radiotherapy); 29 patients underwent two F-FDG PET-CT studies, before and after receiving chemotherapy, for therapy monitoring purpose.
