Methods The study included 50 patients with LARC treated with preoperative CRT. All patients were evaluated by PET-CT before and after CRT and results were compared to histopathologic response quantified by tumour regression grade patients with TRG 1-2 being defined as responders and patients with grade 3-5 as nonresponders . Furthermore the predictive value of metabolic imaging for pathologic complete response ypCR was investigated. Results Responders and non-responders showed statistically significant differences according to Mandard s criteria for maximum standardized uptake value SUVmax before and after CRT with a specificity of 76 6 and a positive predictive value of 66 7 . Furthermore SUVmax values after CRT were able to differentiate patients with ypCR with a sensitivity of 63 and a specificity of 74 4 positive predictive value 41 2 and negative predictive value 87 9 This rather low sensitivity and specificity determined that PET-CT was only able to distinguish 7 cases of ypCR from a total of 11 patients. Conclusions We conclude that 18-F PET-CT performed five to seven weeks after the end of CRT can visualise functional tumour response in LARC. In contrast metabolic imaging with 18-F PET-CT is not able to predict patients with ypCR accurately. Background Over the past decade neoadjuvant .
