F-18 FDG PET/CT has better diagnostic performance than tumor markers combination. Isolated abdominal wall (port/scar site) recurrence and loco-regional recurrence on PET/CT demonstrated better survival than non-regional metastatic disease. These results suggest a possible role of PET/CT as a surveillance modality, as well as a guide to therapeutic decision-making in cases of recurrent GBC.
