FDG-PET [fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography] is the most commonly used PET scan. It's standard for patients to have this type of scan once diagnosed with cervical cancer. Oncologists use it to see the extent of the primary tumour and to look for tumours that have spread beyond the pelvis. But this study shows that the SUV [standard uptake value] obtained from FDG-PET can also tell physicians how well a patient will respond to treatment and should be part of the evaluation process. 5, record 1, English, - standardized%20uptake%20value
