Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is a rare, aggressive cancer that requires a timely diagnosis, since the five-year survival rate is just 25-50 percent. Used in combination, PET and CT scans provide faster, more comprehensive detection of systemic spread for IBC patients. IBC accounts for between 1-5 percent of all breast cancers in the United States, according to Radiology Today.
