Evaluation of breast masses and axillary lymph nodes with [F-18] 2-deoxy-2-fluoro-D-glucose PET.
Abstract
Twenty-eight patients with a total of 35 suspect breast masses underwent positron emission tomography (PET) with [fluorine-18] 2-deoxy-2-fluoro-D-glucose (FDG) in order to study the utility of this technique in the evaluation of breast cancer. FDG PET allowed discrimination between eight benign and 27 malignant breast masses, with a sensitivity of 96% and specificity of 100%. Among the malignancies, there was a significant correlation between normalized FDG uptake and nuclear grade (P = .006). In addition, the results of PET imaging were compared with results of axillary node dissection in 20 cases of breast cancer. PET allowed correct categorization of 10 of 10 axillae as negative (specificity = 100%). PET results were equivocal in one axilla and positive in the remaining nine of 10 axillae with positive dissection results (sensitivity = 90%). The authors conclude that FDG PET may give useful information on breast masses and axillary node status prior to surgery.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
