Özet
Evaluation of treatment response is an important parameter in the clinical oncology routine. For its power in predicting prognosis thorough providing metabolic information, positron emission tomography/computerized tomography (PET/CT) has gained a wide range of spectrum in the oncological imaging setting. Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT is a problem solving tool especially in differentiating residual viable tumor and post therapeutical inflammatory changes. In this review, current information on the use of FDG PET/CT in the evaluation of treatment response in head and neck tumors, which ranks 6th in cancer death order, is discussed.
