PET-CT upstaging of unilateral operable breast cancer and its correlation with molecular subtypes
Conclusions:
FDG PET-CT is a substantial modality to provide information on regional, non regional lymph nodes and distant metastases in early operable breast cancer.It helps in evaluating the whole body metastatic burden in a single sitting, therefore, reducing the need for multiple investigations.SUVmax association of the index lesion with molecular subtype in the FDG PET scanning can serve as a prognostication factor in operable early breast cancer patients.
