Pre- and per-treatment 18F-FDG PET/CT parameters to predict recurrence and survival in cervical cancer.

CONCLUSIONS: MTV and TLG calculated with a threshold of 55% SUVmax and 32% SUVmax from pre- and per-treatment PET scans respectively, can be used to predict patient outcome after CCRT for LACC. PMID: 27569847 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
