TL;DR: Most Wilms’ tumors concentrate FDG, however, small pulmonary metastases may be better visualized with CT, and FDG PET/CT appears useful for defining the extent of involvement and assessing the response to treatment.

TL;DR: 18F-FDG PET-CT imaging is more sensitive than BMB for BMI detection in pHL staging and should be limited to those with normal marrow uptake in the presence of poor risk factors or those with diffusely increased uptake to exclude marrow involvement in the background of reactive marrow.

TL;DR: A patient with known metastatic pleomorphic liposarcoma with a palpable thyroid nodule of 2 months’ duration had a thyroid scan with 130 MBq (3.5 mCi) Tc-99m pertechnetate, which showed a cold nodule occupying most of the right lobe of the thyroid.

TL;DR: The utility of 18F-FDG PET-CT scan in the localization and staging of CUP syndrome is supported, and the diagnostic accuracy was found to be 78%, sensitivity 80, specificity 74, positive predictive value 88 and negative predictive value 59%.

TL;DR: The ATA risk stratification and continuous reassessment during the first 2 years predicts disease-free survival better than the TNM staging, and age older than 45 years, unresectable disease, and elevated postthyroidectomy thyroglobulin levels dictate a poorer prognosis.
