Abstract

Background: Positron emission tomography (PET) scan is a non-invasive, complicated and expensive medical IMAGING technology used for diagnosis and treatment of various diseases including cancers.This study aimed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of this technology.Methods: The major medical electronic databases including Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, MEDLINE and IranMedex were searched. The studies that compared PET-SCAN with other diagnostic methods in terms of sensitivity, specificity and safety were considered in this review.Findings: PET-SCAN has been found to be a non-invasive and safe procedure for diagnosing metastatic NSCLC with a sensitivity and specificity of 74-95% and 81-97%, respectively. On the other hand, the sensitivity and specificity of computed tomography (CT) scan have been reported as 60-67% and 73-77%, respectively. The corresponding values for mediastinoscopy have been 78% and 100%. In LYMPHOMA, the specificity and sensitivity of PET-SCAN (90% and 79-100%, respectively) have been higher than those of gamma scan. Although PET-SCAN is not an appropriate method for screening and diagnosis of cancer, it can contribute to staging and follow-up processes in cases of NSCLC and LYMPHOMA. This technology adds 0.046 years (about 17 days) to the patient's life.Conclusion: PET-SCAN is a safe technology that has better diagnostic performance in comparison with similar technologies. The application of this method in staging and follow-up of NSCLC and LYMPHOMA can prevent unnecessary surgeries and add a few years to the lives of patients.
