TI  - [PET in pancreatic tumor of unknown origin--luxury or value?].
PG  - 471-3
AB  - 18FDG-positron emission tomography (PET) was performed preoperatively in 159 
      patients (89 pancreatic cancers, 48 inflammatory pancreatic tumors, 22 benign 
      tumors) with pancreatic mass of unknown origin and its diagnostic value (ROC 
      analysis) was compared with ERCP and computed tomography. In patients with normal 
      fasted blood glucose level (< 130 mg%) and without active inflammation (n = 126), 
      diagnostic value of PET was equal to ERCP (0.94) and higher than CT (0.84; p < 
      0.02); PET showed in 88% of cases no prediction of resectability or local tumor 
      infiltration, no influence on explorative celiotomies, in 93% no increase of 
      preoperative hospital stay, in 4% influence on surgical strategy, in 5% 
      metastases as additional information. Though its additional information gain for 
      the surgeon remains limited, PET is certainly a diagnostic achievement with high 
      diagnostic value in preselected patients.
