ABSTRACT

Background. PET/CT is a study that today is very useful for diagnosis, determination of response and follow-up of patients with oncological diseases. The aim of this work was to present a case-serie where the possible recurrence of can cerdisease was discarded, as they were suggested by PET/CT in the follow-up of patients after curative treatment. Material and methods. We reviewed cases of oncological diseases treated at the Medica Sur Hospital from 2005 to 2012 with curative intent and with follow-up with PET/CT and a probable disease recurrence. Results. We found five cases that me tour inclusion criteria. In four of the probable disease - recurrence were tuberculosis and in one case it was a non-specific inflammatory reaction. Conclusion. Cancer patients treated with curative intent, all probable disease-recurrent lesions should be biopsied to rule out other possible causes.
