Abstract Objective： To evaluate application value of 18F-FDG PET-CT in diagnosing recurrent gynecologic carcinoma. Method： We chose 30 patients with gynecologic carcinoma after diagnosing and divided these patients into two groups. The first group contained 10 cases， they underwent the 18F-FDG PET-CT to examine the recurrent carcinoma after treatment. The second group contained 20 cases， and they were suspicious of recurrence in the clinic and they underwent the 18F-FDG PET-CT. Result： In the first group， there were 8 cases were negative results after undergoing the 18F-FDG PET-CT， including 1 case was positive result when undergoing the second 18F-FDG PET-CT examine， and proved to be digestive system cancer， 2 cases with positive result were diagnosed post-treatment changes. In the second group， 15 cases were positive results and 3 cases were proved to recurrent or move by operation， and the other 12 cases were given chemotherapy or radiotherapy， then 7 patients’ recurrent tumor volume reduced， and 2 cases died， 3 patients’ tumor had no change. The other 5 cases were negative results， but 2 cases changed to be positive results after the second examination and proved to be recurrent carcinoma. Conclusion： The 18F-FDG PET-CT examination is helpful to diagnose and treat the recurrent carcinoma earlier. It can reduce the pain of the patients and mortality， it is an effective method of monitoring of gynecologic carcinoma recurrence， and has important clinical significance to formulate and adjust the treatment plan in the
clinic.
