Prognostic Value Of 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography In Diagnosis, Assessment, And Therapeutic Strategy For Colorectal Mixed Adenoneuroendocrine Carcinoma. Single Centre Experience

Background: Colorectal mixed adenoneuroendocrine carcinoma (MANEC), which acts as an aggressive tumor, is usually diagnosed at an advanced stage. MANEC is composed of a poorly differentiated neuroendocrine-carcinoma (NEC) and a nonneuroendocrine neoplastic epithelial component, each represents at least 30% of the tumor. The study aimed to examine the predictive role of pre-treatment 18F-FDG PET-CT(PET-CT) and efficiency providing insight into...
