Abstract
Prescriptions for the positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) in adult cancer patients are based on the results of multicenter studies, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses. Thus, published international guidelines help nuclear medicine specialists, oncologists and radiologists in determining the most appropriate diagnostic algorithms for each patient with the purpose of selecting the most appropriate treatment as well as allowing the introduction of the new prognostic factors. Compared with adult patients, the use of PET-CT in pediatric oncology is somewhat limited due to the lack of systematic, large multicenter studies and, therefore, precise and clear guidelines. The reasons for the lack of the large studies may be the relatively low incidence of malignant neoplasms in pediatric practice and the fear for the delayed effects of exposure of ionizing radiation on the growing child's body. The purpose of this bibliographical review was to provide a summary of the use and the role of PET-CT in children with the most frequent malignancies.
期刊介绍：
Journal “Pediatria” named after G.N. Speransky (the official short names of the Journal are “Journal «Pediatria»,” “Pediatria,” and “«Pediatria,» the Journal”) is the oldest Soviet-and-Russian (in the Russian Federation, the CIS and former Soviet Union) scientific and practical medical periodical assigned for pediatricians that is published continuously since May, 1922, and distributed worldwide. Our mission statement specifies that we aim to the ‘raising the level of skills and education of pediatricians, organizers of children’s health protection services, medicine scientists, lecturers and students of medical institutes for higher education, universities and colleges worldwide with an emphasis on Russian-speaking audience and specific, topical problems of children’s healthcare in Russia, the CIS, Baltic States and former Soviet Union Countries and their determination with the use of the World’s best practices in pediatrics.’ As part of this objective, the Editorial of the Journal «Pediatria» named after G.N. Speransky itself adopts a neutral position on issues treated within the Journal. The Journal serves to further academic discussions of topics, irrespective of their nature - whether religious, racial-, gender-based, environmental, ethical, political or other potentially or topically contentious subjects. The Journal is registered with the ISSN, - the international identifier for serials and other continuing resources, in the electronic and print world: ISSN 0031-403X (Print), and ISSN 1990-2182 (Online). The Journal was founded by the Academician, Dr. Georgiy Nestorovich SPERANSKY, in May, 1922. Now (since 1973) the Journal bears his honorary name.
