Abstract

Cancer is a main threaten human health and lung cancer is responsible death individual worldwide. Early detection of cancers can diminish problem resulted from them and 18F-FDG PET-CT can be helpful to solve this problems. 8F-FDG PET-CT depicts metabolic and anatomical information about tumor. It facilitates treatment planning and enhances overall survival in patients with lung cancer. 18F-FDG-PET-CT has potential ability to detect early metabolic response to chemotherapy. 18F-FDG, PET/CT is a prominent and key tool for assessment and staging lung cancer and today it widely serve for demonstration of lung cancer. In addition, it has pivotal role in personalized patient management. Here, we reviewed important of 18F-FDG PET-CT in detection of lung cancer. This study was designed as chronological order based on studies conducted by 2014 to 2017. The papers were searched from valid databases such as Wiley; Scopus; Science Direct; Springer and PubMed.
