(18F)-FDG PET/CT parameters to predict survival and recurrence in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer treated with chemoradiotherapy.

CONCLUSION: Total lesion glycolysis of primary tumor and distance between the invaded positive lymph node and the primary tumor seem to have the highest predictive value when compared to classical clinical prognostic parameters and may be useful to identify high risk groups at time of diagnosis and to tailor the therapeutic approach in locally-advanced cervical cancer.
