Abstract
Soft tissue sarcoma are here, heterogeneous malignant neoplasms that present difficulties in diagnosis, treatment and follow-up. High-quality diagnostic planning allows timely decision-making on further tactics of patient management in a particular case. Positron emission tomography with a biological analogue of glucose – 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose, combined with computed tomography, is an imaging tool that measures the metabolic activity of a tumor and is increasingly used in clinical practice to assess primary tumor tissue, staging, monitoring the effectiveness of treatment and as a method of early detection of relapses. This literature review is aimed at evaluating the usefulness of positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography at different stages of diagnostic control in patients with soft tissue sarcomas.
