- W2249501518 abstract "13526 Background: we began using PET in 1994 and since the beginning of 2000 we started with a PET/CT system. Aim of our study was to evaluate if PET/CT is a decision making tool in patients with a history of colon tumors. Methods: we performed PET/CT in 26 patients, 14 males and 12 females (mean age 60.9, range 42–75 years) already treated for a colon cancer. Each patient was submitted to two PET/CT scans in a period of 5–11 months. PET/CT was performed using 18F-FDG as radiopharmaceutical. In all patients other examinations were perfomed, such as liver ecography, pelvis MRI and CT scan. Results: in the first PET/CT imaging, 11/26 patients presented with normal tumor markers but suspected relapse on the basis of CI, 7/26 had increased markers but negative CI, the other 8 patients had both CI and tumor markers meaningful for recurrence. 7/26 PET/CT were normal: 5 cases with negative tumor markers but positive CI and 2 patients with increased CEA levels. Among the 19/26 positive PET/CT scans, 7 patients had normal marker levels. All positive PET/CT patients were treated and, at the second examination, progressive disease was evident in 11 out of 19. For the 7 previous negative PET/CT, the second findings showed tumor recurrence in 2 patients, but PET/CT became negative in 5 previously positive cases, submitted to surgery and/or chemotherapy. This method detected relapse in 73% of the patients and, during the follow up, it was sensitive to identify progressive disease or to prove treatment’colon cancer, based on tumoral marker assays and CI, is poorly sensitive to detect relapse. Our PET/CT data show that 37% of cases with normal marker levels have a recurrent disease. The overall results of our preliminary data lead to further considerations: 1) PET/CT gives a precise localization of lung or nodal metastases and local relapse; 2) the repeated PET/CT scan is reliable also to evaluate the effect of therapies; 3) this imaging modality may be crucial to detect relapse, but more data are needed to assess the proper time to perform PET/CT in the follow up to have a real gain in life expectancy.
