Evidence on Use of PET in Lung Cancer Diagnosis and Staging
Tumor imaging with 18fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography, or PET, has the potential to improve the clinical management of patients with lung cancer. Ung et al. (p. 1753) identified studies that have provided evidence about the use of PET in lung cancer diagnosis and staging. Their systematic review indicates that PET has high sensitivity and reasonable specificity for distinguishing between benign and malignant lesions and that it is better than computed tomography for staging mediastinal tumors in non–small-cell lung cancer. PET also appears to have good accuracy in staging
