Abstract

Fluorodeoxyglucose-based positron emission tomography/computed tomography is increasingly being used for staging of muscle-invasive bladder cancer before treatment. However, international clinical guidelines are hesitant to recommend this approach, as conclusive scientific evidence on its usefulness is lacking. The question is whether and how this evidence can be obtained.
