Abstract
We report three cases of patients with adenocarcinoma of the colon with selectively treated (radiofrequency ablation, intra-arterial chemotherapy, and intra-arterial Yttrium-90 microspheres) liver metastases studied with PET-CT. This technique enabled early detection of the persistence and/or recurrence of viable tumor tissue through increased metabolic uptake of fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG). PET-CT seems to have a significant impact on the clinical management of patients with selectively treated liver metastases.
