^18^F‐fluoro‐2‐deoxy‐D‐glucose–positron emission tomography (FDG‐PET)/PET‐computed tomography diagnostic studies may play a potential role in the staging and restaging of patients with cervical cancer. Recent work has demonstrated another important aspect of FDG‐PET in predicting the prognosis for p
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND The clinical value of positron emission tomography (PET) with [^18^F]fluoro‐2‐deoxy‐D‐glucose (FDG) for primary staging in cervical carcinoma appears to be promising. The authors sought to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy and benefit of PET in restaging cervical carcinoma
