摘要: We report the results of serial F-FDG PET/CT investigations in a 49-year-old woman presenting with an advanced cecal high-grade neuroendocrine carcinoma harboring somatic BRAF mutation. Patient was refractory to standard chemotherapy regimen showing life-threatening hyperlactatemia. Early after beginning BRAF-MEK therapy (dabrafenib and trametinib), impressive improvement imaging achieved. The pathological uptake primary tumor as well nodal, hepatic, bone metastases drastically decreased. Moreover, reduction total lesion glycolysis on images strictly related extraordinary patient clinical response lactic acid level normalization.
