FDG-PET is not useful in early pancreatic cancer diagnosis
Better tools for early detection and accurate staging of pancreatic cancer are needed. The role of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-PET in this setting is controversial.

| Summary: | Better tools for early detection and accurate staging of pancreatic cancer are needed. The role of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-PET in this setting is controversial. The results of a large retrospective study analyzing the value of FDG-PET in the diagnosis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma are discussed here. |
