Figure 2

Representative example of a patient with oligoprogressive metastatic breast cancer. (a) PET scan of the central chest at the time of diagnosis of metastatic disease. (b) PET of the same area after 8 months of fulvestrant demonstrating resolution of the FDG avid disease. (c) Surveillance PET scan 6 months later demonstrating solitary site of progressive disease in the right lung. No other evidence of progressive disease was noted in this patient.
