    AbstractIn the present review we reported the value of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT in face of uterine cancer, in terms of sensitivity, specificity and accuracy. Moreover, we made a comparison with the other imaging techniques currently used to evacuate these tumors including contrast-enhanced CT, contrast enhanced-MRI and transvaginal ultrasonography. FDG PET/CT has been reported to be of particular value in detecting occult metastatic lesions, in prediction of response to treatment and as a prognostic factor.
