520 3 |a Purpose: To assess the clinical benefit of 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (18F-FDG-PET/CT) in evaluating pelvic lymph nodes in patients with early stage cervical cancer (FIGO stage 1a-1b1), who have magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-defined lymph node negative disease, with histopathologic results as the reference standard. Materials and Methods: We assessed one hundred and seventy nine sequential 18F-FDG-PET/CT scans in women with newly diagnosed cervical carcinoma between January 2009 and September 2011. 47 of these patients had early stage disease (FIGO stage 1a-1b1) with no suspicious lymph nodes on MRI. 18F-FDG-PET/CT images were analyzed and histopathological findings (pelvic lymph node resection) served as the reference standard. Results: The median age of patients was 48 (range 22-86) years. 66% had squamous histotype. Median number of nodes dissected per patient was 21 (range 8-47), 2 of 47 patients had nodal metastases (4.25%). All patients in this group had no suspicious lymph nodes on 18F-FDG-PET/CT. Overall patient based sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy of 18F-FDG-PET/CT for detection of nodal disease were 0%, 100%, 0%, 96%, and 96% respectively. Conclusion: Pathologic validation of 18F-FDG-PET/CT imaging demonstrates little value for 18F-FDG-PET/CT in patients with early stage (FIGO stage 1a-1b1) MRI-defined lymph node negative cervical carcinoma. Since the likelihood of metastatic nodal disease is very low in women with stage 1a-1b1 cervical cancer, we believe that 18F-FDG-PET/CT should not have a role in the routine pre-treatment evaluation of these women.
