In this paper we discuss the value of 18F-FDG PET/CT on the TNM staging of colorectal cancer before surgery.Forty-one patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer from surgery were examined by 18F-FDG PET/CT.PET/CT findings were compared with post-operative pathology.The sensitivity of colorectal cancer was 97.6% by PET and 100% by PET/CT.The diagnostic accuracy of T-stage and N-stage and metastasis and TNM-stage before operation in colorectal cancer were 85.4%
85.4%
97.6% and 75.6% respectively
and the correlation with surgical appearances and pathological findings were 0.574
0.670
0.918 and 0.664 respectively
all P<0.01.Good correlation exists between manifestations on PET/CT and operative pathology.PET/CT may become a good choice diagnostic modality for pre-treatment staging evaluations of colorectal carcinomas.
