A prospective study of 2-[F-18] fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose/positron emission tomography scan, Tc-99m-labeled arcitumomab (CEA-scan), and blind second-look laparotomy for detecting colon cancer recurrence in patients with increasing carcinoembryonic antigen
Original language description
Background: An increasing carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) level in the absence of disease on imaging studies can present a diagnostic challenge. We evaluated 2-[F-18] fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose and positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) scan and CEA scan before second-look laparotomy as a means of localizing recurrent colorectal cancer. Methods: Patients underwent computed tomography scan, bone scan, colonoscopy, and magnetic resonance imaging, and those without evidence of disease or resectable disease inthe abdomen had FDG-PET and CEA scans. At second-look laparotomy, a surgeon blinded to the results of the FDG-PET and CEA scans performed an exploration and mapped findings. A second surgeon, with knowledge of the FDG-PET and CEA scans, then explored the patient; all lesions were biopsied or resected for pathology. Results: In 28 patients explored, disease was found at operation in 26 (94%). Ten had unresectable disease. FDG-PET scans predicted unresectable disease in 90% of patients. C
