Sammanfattning

During the last five years, PET has become an increasingly important tool in the diagnosis and staging of lung cancer. PET appears to be cost-effective and is now broadly accepted and reimbursed in many countries. Currently there are many data on the diagnostic value of PET from prospective clinical studies, but data from randomised trials are called for. In the future, PET combined with CT will play an important role in radiotherapy planning as well as in the evaluation of patients' response to therapy.
