Key Questions

1. What is the diagnostic accuracy of surveillance PET for lymphoma, colorectal cancer, and head and neck cancer?
2. What is the clinical impact of surveillance PET for lymphoma, colorectal cancer, and head and neck cancer (i.e., impact of scans on use of other diagnostic tests, impact on therapeutic decisions, and effect on patient outcomes)?
