abstract: Early Detection of Recurrent Ovarian Cancer in Patients with Low-Level Increases in Serum CA-125 Levels by PET/CT



Abstract

Purpose: Serum CA-125 has been shown to be a sensitive tumor marker of recurrent ovarian cancer. The goal of this study was to evaluate the use of 2-[F-18]fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) in the early detection of recurrent ovarian cancer in patients with low-level increases in serum CA-125 levels.
