PURPOSE: Preoperative staging of NSCLC patients with chest computed tomography (CT) is standard but has an overall accuracy of only ∼50%. Identification of extra-thoracic metastases can prevent unnecessary surgeries that are unlikely to affect any survival benefit. This study evaluated the addition of PET to chest CT in the preoperative staging of potential surgical candidates with histologically-proven NSCLC.

PURPOSE: Identification of distant metastases precludes attempt at curative resection in patients with esophageal carcinoma. Preoperative staging with computed tomography (CT) of the chest and abdomen has an overall accuracy of ∼55%. The purpose of the present study was to determine the additive efficacy of PET in the identification of occult metastases in patients with potentially resectable esophageal carcinoma based on CT imaging.
