Utility of Whole-Body 18-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography (PET) In the Pre-Operative Assessment of Patients With Hepatic Colorectal Metastases


Inclusion Criteria:



- initial diagnosis of colorectal carcinoma confirmed by the Pathology Department of
Memorial Hospital or by diagnostic barium enema if the primary tumor is still in
place.

- a candidate for liver resection for metastatic colorectal cancer as defined by

Observational

Study Design:

Observational Model: Cohort, Time Perspective: Prospective

Outcome Measure:

To assess if whole body 18F-FDG-PET enhances our ability to detect metastatic colorectal cancer restricted to liver and lung over conventional imaging such as CT and to determine the accuracy of PET in imaging extrahepatic tumors.

Outcome Time Frame:
