Abstract

Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) is an imaging modality used for staging, assessing response to therapy, and diagnosis of recurrent cervical and ovarian cancer. The potential role of FDG-PET/CT in other gynecologic malignancies such as endometrial cancer, uterine sarcomas, vaginal, and vulvar cancer has not been fully explored.

Keywords: Endometrial cancer; PET; Uterine cancer; Vaginal cancer; Vulvar cancer.
