Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) is a common cause of cancer-related deaths in the world. In addition to the patient’s clinical history and clinical examination, nuclear medicine tools are required for diagnosis. [18F]FDG PET/CT has been commonly used for cancer patients for staging, restaging, evaluation of treatment response. This study aimed to review the current literature on the role of [18F]FDG PET/CT for GC management.
