Questions and Answers

Which type of cancer is only 50% imaged with FDG-PET due to high levels of phosphatase?

  • Bladder cancer
  • Prostate cancer
  • Renal cell carcinoma (RCC)
  • Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) (correct)
  • What percentage of renal cell carcinomas are FDG-avid?

  • 50% (correct)
  • 25%
  • 90%
  • 75%
  • Why is detection of ureteral or bladder lesions extremely limited with FDG-PET?

  • Due to inadequate imaging technology
  • Due to low FDG uptake by the tumors
  • Due to high levels of phosphatase in the tumors
