Its use is based on the well-founded assumption that metabolic changes occur earlier in tumors than morphologic changes, adding another dimension to imaging. This article will review the established and investigational indications and radiopharmaceuticals for PET/CT imaging for prostate cancer, bladder cancer and testicular cancer, before presenting upcoming applications in radiation therapy.", pages = "2492-2502", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/ben/cmc/2010/00000017/00000023/art00004", doi = "doi:10.2174/092986710791556014", keyword = "Prostate cancer, bladder cancer, testicular cancer, positron emission tomography, F-18-fluorodeoxyglucose" }
