2-[18F]FDG PET/CT is useful to detect the site and extent of recurrence when conventional imaging methods are equivocal (I-85%/A-100%)

2-[18F]FDG PET/CT can be recommended:

o In patients with signs or symptoms suggestive of metastatic disease (I-92%/A-100%)

o In patients with rising serum tumour markers (II-92%/B-85%)

o To guide site of biopsy (IV-100%/D-100%)

o To improve RT planning (III-100%/C-100%)

2-[18F]FDG PET/CT can substitute for CT and/or bone scan in the detection of bone metastases (II-100%/B-100%)
