1 JSC “National Diagnostic Centre”
On the basis of the Department of radioisotope diagnosis of JSC “ Republican Diagnostic Center “ Astana during theperiod from 2010 to 2012 assessed the informativeness of PET / CT in the evaluation of the effectiveness of treatment of cancer of the stomach and esophagus. The results of the study 63 patients who underwent combined treatment for cancer of the stomach and esophagus. Among the 27 patients studied were sent for examination within 6 months after the end of treatment, and 36 patients more than 6 months after the end of the special treatments. Localization onkoprotsessa in the esophagus was observed in 20 patients ( 31.7 % ) in the stomach - in 43 patients ( 68.3 %). All patients underwent PET / CT examination , positron emission tomography combined with a 16- slice CT scanner Gemini GXL 16 firm Philips. In conducting PET / CT was used radiopharmaceutical “ fluorodeoxyglucose , 18F, intravenous solution .” Calculate the coefficient of SUV max - the maximum accumulation of the radiopharmaceutical . In conducting PET / CT studies in time for more than 6 months after the end of treatment were detected local recurrence , metastasis to regional lymph nodes and metastases to distant organs . Conducting PET / CT study allowed us to estimate the radicalism of the treatment.
