Abstract
Imaging and PET-CT of Head and Neck Cancers
- PET/CT is essentialbefore extensive and mutilating surgery to exclude metastases.
- PET/CT is mandatory to assess the efficienty of concurrentcytoreductive chemoradiotherapy for organ preservation treatment.
- PET/CT is required for surgical follow-up to detectlocal recurrences, metastases or metachronous lesions.
- PET/CT is useful to identify the primary lesion inpatients with metastases from unknown primary site.
- PET/CT is useful to assess metabolic tumoral volumes,especially nodes, before radiotherapy.
