Core Tip	In this paper, fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/computerized tomography (CT) showed an excellent diagnostic performance and its sensitivity and accuracy were significantly superior to those of CT. FDG PET/CT changed the management in some metastatic patients who might obtain the chance for a second remission. The study also showed that FDG PET/CT was effective similarly in the patients with normal and abnormal carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels but had a tendency to increase with the CEA level. FDG PET/CT was an advisable option for surveillance of postoperative colorectal cancer (CRC) patients with a vague diagnosis and should be recommended in surveillance of post-operative CRC patients even with normal CEA.
