Acute radiation oesophagitis associated with 2 ‐deoxy‐2‐[18F]fluoro‐d‐glucose uptake on positron emission tomography/CT during chemo‐radiation therapy in patients with non‐small‐cell lung cancer

ConclusionsFDGwk4 SUVmax and radiation dose were associated with ≥ grade 2 ARO. Compared to subjective assessments, future interim FDG PET/CT acquired for disease response assessment may also be utilized to objectively characterize ARO severity and image‐guided oesophageal dose constraints.
