Prognostic value of fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography derived metabolic parameters and textural features in pediatric sarcoma
Conclusion
In addition to the presence of distant metastasis at initial diagnosis, textural features of primary tumors may be used as prognostic biomarkers to identify patients with worse prognosis in pediatric sarcoma. Higher tumor heterogeneity is significantly associated with shorter progression-free survival and OS.
