Abstract

Introduction The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlative role of fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (F-18-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) measurement and contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomography (ceCT) in the detection of colorectal cancer (CRC) recurrence.
