Abstract
Introduction. Gestational trophoblastic neoplasias are rare tumors, which consist of about 1% of gynecological cancers. High rate of diagnostic and treatment mistakes leads to late diagnosis, metastatic appearance, resistance to chemotherapy, poor prognosis.
Aim. To demonstrate possibilities of 18F-FDG PET/CT to find resistant lesions of gestational trophoblastic neoplasias.
In the article, we analyze several medical reports to illustrate advantages of 18F-FDG PET/CT for evaluation of resistant gestational trophoblastic neoplasias.
