Abstract
In contrast to many other tumor groups, the role of FDG-PET and PET/CT in gynecological and testicular malignancies is much less clearly defined. There is, however, reliable evidence that FDG-PET does have a useful role in the management of these cancers and, with the introduction of PET/CT, this is likely to advance. FDG-PET experience in gynecological malignancies has, to date, been largely confined to ovarian and cervical carcinoma.
