Description

We often experienced 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET)/CT detection of unexpected lung cancer in clinical practice. The prevalence of unexpected lung cancer was 0.42%. Most of the cases could adapt to the radical treatments. FDG-PET/CT study is useful not only for the evaluation of known or suspected primary lung cancer, but also for the detection of unexpected lung cancer. (author)
