Title: Usefulness of MET-PET in head and neck cancer
In recent years, various studies about PET have been performed and the PET imaging is considered to be an important tools. FDG and C-11 methionine (MET) are commonly used tumor-seeking agents. Currently, FDG-PET is widely used in clinical settings and also in head and neck cancer diagnosis, staging and treatment. MET-PET is also widely used for brain tumor. However, in oral cancer the diagnostic value of MET-PET is uncertain. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of MET-PET in oral squamous cell carcinoma OSCC) and compared MET and FDG PETs in the same cases.
Title: FDG-PET and 3-phase bone scintigraphy to monitor hyperbaric oxygen therapy for BRONJ
Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of jaws (BRONJ) is one of the most complicated inflammatory conditions in oral and maxillofacial region. For BRONJ, there is no established diagnostic modality and treatment option. ently, Hyperbaric Oxygen (HBO) therapy has been suggested in the treatment of BRONJ; however, the effectiveness is controversial. In our previous report, we have performed hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) and its effectiveness was evaluated by FDG PET which is not under coverage of health insurance and expensive. Bone scintigraphy with BUV is another convenient and less expensive method for BRONJ. Thus the aim of this study is to establish a diagnostic modality and evaluate the effectiveness of HBO therapy using FDG PET and bone scintighrapy.
