title: (18)F-FDG PET in sarcoma treatment response imaging.
abstract: Sarcomas are a biologically complex group of diseases that exhibit variable responses to single or combination therapy. (18)F-FDG PET imaging contributes to sarcoma treatment response assessment as an objective semiquantitative biomarker of response. In this review, background and experience in (18)F-FDG PET as a biomarker that successfully identifies tumor response is assessed.
