Lung cancer is a health problem in Peru, being the most aggressive in its behavior. It affects men and women equally. PET/CT is a useful tool in the staging and follow-up of the treatment of these tumors. At present, there is enough evidence to afrm that this technology allows to adjust the treatment and to have an influence on  long term survival. In this work we have made a descriptive review of the  relevant articles recently published on the subject. It is concluded that the  PET/CT study is useful in the staging  and follow-up of the proposed  treatment for patients with non-small  cell lung cancer. We also have the  information that this malignant tumor  continues to arrive at medical  consultations at an advanced stage.
