Abstract
This article discusses evaluating response after and during therapy in various settings and for the types of cancers for which ample evidence demonstrates that PET imaging with flourodeoxyglucose provides a valuable surrogate for response to therapy. It also briefly discusses pitfalls in obtaining an optimal assessment of response and issues that need further attention for this modality to become established as an independent predictor of response to anticancer therapy.
