Context Retrospective studies have demonstrated that the use of positron emission tomography ( PET) with F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) in the posttherapy evaluation of patients with cervical carcinoma is predictive of survival outcome.Objective To validate the association between the metabolic response on the 3-month posttherapy FDG-PET and long-term survival outcome.Design, Setting, and Patients A prospective cohort study designed to validate our previous finding that the results of a 3-month posttherapy FDG-PET are predictive of long-term clinical outcome. A total of 92 women were treated with external irradiation, brachytherapy, and concurrent chemotherapy from January 2003 through September 2006. Posttherapy whole-body FDG-PET was performed 2 to 4 months ( mean, 3 months) after completion of therapy.Main Outcome Measures The primary outcome end points were metabolic response, progression-free survival, and cause-specific survival.Results Posttherapy FDG-PET showed a complete metabolic response in 65 patients (70%), a partial metabolic response in 15 (16%),and progressive disease in 12 (13%). Their 3-year progression-free survival rates were 78%, 33%, and 0%, respectively ( P
