FDG-PET/CT has been successfully used for initial staging, restaging, assessment of early treatment response, evaluation of metastatic disease response, and prognostication of intestinal cancer as well as various malignant tumors. We reviewed the current status and role of FDG-PET/CT for management of patients with esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, and colorectal cancer, with focus on both its usefulness and limitations.}, pages = {527--543}, title = {Present and future roles of FDG-PET/CT imaging in the management of gastrointestinal cancer : an update}, volume = {79}, year = {2017} }
