Abstract
Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) integrated with 2-[(18)F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose ((18)F-FDG) has emerged as a powerful tool for combined metabolic and anatomic evaluations in clinical oncologic imaging. This review discusses the utility of (18)F-FDG PET/CT as a tool to manage patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma. We discuss different stages of patient management in malignant pleural mesothelioma, including diagnosis, initial staging, therapy planning, early treatment response assessment, re-staging, and prognosis.
