¹⁸FDG beim primären Staging von Lungentumoren

Zusammenfassung

Die Diagnostik von Primärtumoren der Lunge erfordert ein exaktes Staging nach der TNM-Klassifikation. Im Gegensatz zu den bereits etablierten bildgebenden Verfahren beschreibt ¹⁸FDG die funktionellen metabolischen Vorgänge im Tumorgewebe als Folge einer gesteigerten Glykolyse. Das Ziel der Studie war die Anwendung von ¹⁸FDG beim primären Staging von Lungentumoren. 44 Patienten wurden auf einer Gammakamera mit einem 511 keV Kollimator untersucht. Die ¹⁸FDG Akkumulation pulmonaler Tumoren und deren Metastasen erzielt bei den mit anderen bildgebenden Verfahren beschriebenen Herden (107) eine Sensitivität von 85%, bei den histologisch verifizierten Herden (50) von 89%, bei den Primärtumoren (35) von 100% sowie bei den Metastasen (63) von 76%. Als Alternative zu ¹⁸FDG PET Untersuchungen ist ein primäres Staging von Lungentumoren auch mit einer ECT-geeigneten Gammakamera und einem 511 keV Kollimator möglich.

Summary

The diagnosis of primary lung tumors requires a precise staging according to the TNM classification. In contrast to established imaging methods ¹⁸FDG describes the functional metabolic processes in the tumor tissue due to increased glycolysis. This paper describes the use of ¹⁸FDG in the primary staging of lung tumors and metastases. 44 patients were studied with a gamma camera and a 511 keV collimator. In comparison to pulmonary tumors and metastases detected by other imaging methods (107) the accumulation of ¹⁸FDG has a sensitivity of 85%, in lesions verified by histology (50) of 89%, in primary tumors (35) of 100% and in metastases (63) of 76%. As an alternative to FDG PET studies, primary staging of lung tumors is possible with a gamma camera, suitable for ECT and fitted with a 511 keV collimator.
