Patients were included if chest x-ray, bone scan, liver ultrasound, or computed tomography scan performed by the referring physician failed to reveal distant metastases. They underwent whole-body FDG PET scanning before therapy. Patients with subsequently proven distant metastases were switched to alternative forms of chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, or both. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p> Among the 48 patients evaluated with PET, 14 had abnormal FDG uptake, and metastases were suspected in 12. After simple clinical evaluation (plain x-ray, history), 10 sites that were suggestive of abnormality remained. Further work-up revealed that four sites were metastases. Proven false positivity occurred in one patient with sarcoidosis. In the other five patients, the reason for abnormal FDG uptake (liver, lung, bone) remained unclear, and patients were treated as planned. Eleven months later, distant metastases were found in one patient at sites unrelated to the previous FDG uptake. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p> The addition of FDG PET to the standard work-up of patients with LABC may lead to the detection of unexpected distant metastases. This may contribute to a more realistic stratification between patients with true stage III breast cancer and those who are in fact suffering from stage IV disease. Abnormal PET findings should be confirmed to prevent patients from being denied appropriate treatment. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1200\/jco.2004.07.058","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,3,29]],"date-time":"2004-03-29T23:28:11Z","timestamp":1080602891000},"page":"1253-1259","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":110,"title":["<sup>18<\/sup>F-2-Fluoro-2-Deoxy-<scp>d<\/scp>-Glucose Positron Emission Tomography in Staging of Locally Advanced Breast Cancer"],"prefix":"10.1200","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Jacobus J.M.","family":"van der Hoeven","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Departments of Nuclear Medicine and PET Research, Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatics, Surgery, and Medical Oncology, Vrije Universiteit Medical Center, Amsterdam;
