Abstract
Colorectal cancer shows an increasing trend in the incidence in Asian country like India.Complex clinical decisions for management of such patients depends on early diagnosis and correct clinical staging imaging findings, thus reducing the morbidity. Accurate determination of the anatomy and morphology of tumors with extent, tumor size, lymph node involvement, and distant metastasis are valuable. F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography in Staging of Colorectal carcinoma that provide information about metabolic activity of tumor and distant metastases can change the management protocols Our study showed that whole body PET/CT should be done as part of protocol in cases of colorectal carcinoma, for staging work up as well as for evaluating local invasiveness, metastases, recurrence and treatment monitoring
