## Abstract To assess the clinical value of whole-body positron emission tomography (PET) with [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) in recurrent colorectal cancer, 35 patients were studied: 15 had resectable liver metastases, one a resectable lung metastasis, eight resectable pelvic recurrence, eight a pr
## Background: [f-18]fluorodeoxyglucose (fdg)-positron emission tomography (pet) can measure the metabolic activity of tissues; fdg-pet may be able to predict response to chemotherapy by identifying changes in tumor metabolism. measurement of response to treatment may help improve survival in the m
