Serial 4DCT/4DPET imaging to predict and monitor response for locally-advanced non-small cell lung cancer chemo-radiotherapy.
CONCLUSIONS: Several 4DPET/CT features and rates of change can reach significant association (p < 0.005) with outcomes, including overall survival, at many time points. The optimal time for adaptive CRT is therefore not constrained uniquely on imaging.
