TLDR
Although multicentre prospective studies are necessary, 18F-FDG-PET/ceCT appears to be a promising tool in patients affected by peritoneal mesothelioma, whereas SUVmaxlesion was associated with PFS in the latter.
Abstract
PurposeThe aim of this study was to assess glucose metabolism of multicystic peritoneal mesothelioma and epithelioid peritoneal mesothelioma by fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG)-PET/contrast-enhanced computed tomography (ceCT) and to assess its prognostic impact.Materials and methodsTwenty-th

Peritoneal mesothelioma: PSOGI/EURACAN clinical practice guidelines for diagnosis, treatment and follow-up.

Psogi
- 01 Jan 2021 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a steering committee for standardizing diagnosis and management of peritoneal mesothelioma (PM) is established, which is a rare and aggressive malignancy characterized by widespread multiple metastatic tumour nodules originating from the peritoneum.

PET/CT Variants and Pitfalls in Gynecological Cancers.

TL;DR: The role of hybrid imaging with 2-[18F] flourodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography and computed tomography (PET/CT) is continuously evolving and now considered standard practice in evaluation of disease stage, treatment response, recurrent disease and follow-up for numerous primary malignancies as mentioned in this paper.

Focal Peritoneal Mesothelioma Demonstrated on FDG PET/CT.

TL;DR: A 48-year-old woman was experiencing abdominal pain and melena for 3 months, and an FDG PET/CT was performed to assess occult tumor, which demonstrated low-grade epithelioid peritoneal mesothelioma.

FDG PET evaluation of mucinous neoplasms: correlation of FDG uptake with histopathologic features.

TL;DR: FDG PET is limited in the evaluation of mucinous tumors, particularly in hypocellular lesions with abundant mucin, and two histologic features were found to be predictive of FDG PET results: tumor cellularity and the amount of mucin.

From the archives of the AFIP: primary peritoneal tumors: imaging features with pathologic correlation.

TL;DR: This unusual group of tumors is linked together by a common site of origin and imaging manifestations that mimic those of peritoneal carcinomatosis, and knowledge of the spectrum of imaging findings in this group of primaryPeritoneal tumors, along with their clinical and pathologic characteristics, is important in the evaluation of patients with diffuse peritoneAL disease.

The Warburg effect in 2012.

TL;DR: The results discussed illustrate the growing integration of the previously distinct fields of molecular biological and metabolic cancer research and show that this synergy is beginning to yield a more complete and comprehensive understanding of the tumor cell.
