IRIS – Institutional Research Information System
IRIS è il sistema di gestione della ricerca dell’Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca.Il repository BOA è il modulo del sistema dedicato alla raccolta e alla disseminazione della produzione scientifica di Ateneo. Le pubblicazioni sono ricercabili per parola chiave attraverso il box nella barra orizzontale in alto oppure, mediante il pulsante Sfoglia, per "Afferenza", "Autore", "Titolo", "Tipologia" o "Settore scientifico-disciplinare".
IRIS contiene inoltre alcuni moduli dedicati alla registrazione dei progetti e dei contratti, e alla reportistica avanzata per le attività di valutazione della ricerca
EnglishOBJECTIVE: The goal of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of positron emission tomography with [(18)F]fluorodeoxyglucose ([(18)F]FDG-PET) in detecting metastases in patients with gestational trophoblastic tumor (GTTs). METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted on three patients with GTTs who had been studied with [(18)F]FDG-PET and computed tomography (CT) after an increase in human chorionic beta-gonadotropin (betahCG) serum levels. PET scans were performed with a multiring whole-body positron emission tomograph 45 min after an intravenous bolus injection of [(18)F]FDG ( approximately 5.2 MBq/kg). CT studies were obtained on a spiral scanner prior and after administration of intravenous iodinated contrast material. Within a week of CT and [(18)F]FDG-PET studies, the patients underwent surgical procedures for histological diagnosis. RESULTS: In one patient, a lung lesion positive for neoplastic tissue with [(18)F]FDG-PET and negative with CT was confirmed to be a GTT metastasis at histology. In another patient, [(18)F]FDG-PET was negative, while CT was positive for the presence of lung metastasis; no viable tumor tissue was found at histological analysis. The remaining patient had a positive [(18)F]FDG-PET and CT study for lung metastasis; this was confirmed at histological analysis. In the same patient, both [(18)F]FDG-PET and CT depicted the presence of a liver lesion. Necrotic lesion regression after treatment was clearly documented with [(18)F]FDG-PET only. CONCLUSIONS: Our preliminary results suggest that [(18)F]FDG-PET may be useful for the assessment of metastatic disease in patients with GTTs.
