Prediction of lymph node metastasis by PET/CT metabolic parameters in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma

MTV and SURmax were statistically significant predictors of LNM in patients with ESCC, while MTV was a predictor of OLNM. High SURmax and MTV may indicate that the treatment planning should be tailored, which may improve patient prognosis.
