Overview

Other diagnostic imaging for liposarcoma includes imaging of central nervous system and positron emission tomography (PET)scan

Imaging of central nervous system

Stage 4 liposarcoma can spread to brain and lungs. Imaging of central nervous system including brain and spinal cord helps to asses this metastasis

Positron emission tomography (PET)

Positron emission tomography (PET) is useful in assesing the tumor if the tumor size is greater than 3 cm, firm and is situated deep within the body. It is useful for following purposes.

  • Assess grade of tumor
  • Assess stage of tumor
  • Prognosis
  • Assess tumor shrinkage after chemotherapy.
