In this article, the discussions about concepts involved in anticancer therapy, including cell death pathways and the variables that guide clinical management, such as intents and types of anticancer therapy regimens and modalities, are a prelude to the review of FDG PET/CT imaging parameters used in the evaluation of response to therapy. The review also includes brief discussions about differences between evaluation of cytostatic and cytotoxic therapy regimens and induction and neoadjuvant therapy regimens.
