Authors' recommendations:
Review showed that positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography offers improved diagnostic accuracy for breast cancer recurrence compared to conventional imaging tests. There is uncertainty around its use as a replacement for, rather than as an add-on to, existing technologies.
