Prognostic value of CT attenuation and FDG uptake of adipose tissue in patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma

To investigate the prognostic significance of computed tomography (CT) attenuation and 2-[18F]-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose (FDG) uptake in subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) for predicting overall survival (OS) in patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
