Surveying FDG PET/CT findings in breast cancer patients

One of the fundamental and unresolved problems in cancer treatment is absence of a method for timely and early diagnosis. Diagnosis of breast cancer at the early stages has a notable effect on lowering the mortality rate in women [6]. Studies have shown that higher mortality rate in these patients is due to late diagnosis. Five years survival rate in the women whose breast cancer is diagnosed at early stages is 90%, while this figure is 60% for women with advanced cancer [7, 8]. Therefore, there is a need for an accurate and reliable system for timely diagnosis and determine if the tumor is benign or malignant [9]. The new molecular imaging technologies have been widely used for understanding the diverse and complicated behavior of cancers [10]. The recent years have witnessed an increase in using a combination of PET and CT technologies. The reason for this is to combine the unique functional information from PET technology and SC Scan technology to fill the anatomical information gap in PET and accurate localization of the lesion [11, 12]. Using CT and PET at the same time not only adds greatly to diagnosis power, but also improves sensitivity of tumor diagnosis process [13]. The FDG-PET technique is usually a more efficient way to determine if the lesion is benign or malignant. For tumor staging, the PET/CT imaging is typically performed from the head to the bottom of pelvis, while contrast CT might be only notable in a subregion [14]. With EDG PET/CT, it is possible to obtain notable information about staging and assessing the treatment process of several types of tumors like pulmonary carcinoma, colorectal cancer, lymphoma, head and neck tumors, melanoma, and so on [15]. Among different types of cancers, breast cancer is clinically more important given its higher prevalence. On the other hand, given the key role that women play in the family and human society growth, their health is highly effective in productivity of family and society. Staging cancer is helpful to determine the best treatment. It is an accurate attempt to find out if the tumor has attacked the adjacent tissues and what limbs are affected by metastasis if any. The PET/CT imaging is more accurate and faster than other imaging techniques like MRI for tumor staging so that using this technology, it is possible to diagnose cancer at early stages [12].
