Abstract

The discusses research which showed that positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scanning was not able to replace lymphadenectomy for locoregional lymph node staging in patients with large primary breast tumors, but may be valuable in detecting distant metastases. It references a study published in a 2008 issue of the "Journal of Clinical Oncology." The study found that primary tumors were identified in all patients using PET/CT and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
