Pulmonary artery enlargement on routine staging 18F-fluodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/CT for lung and oesophageal cancer.

CONCLUSION: Simple measurements of mPA diameter and PA:A ratio reveal that lung cancer patients exhibit increased rates of pulmonary artery enlargement compared to oesophageal cancer patients. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: This study demonstrates there is an increased prevalence of pulmonary enlargement in lung cancer, easily detected on routine, staging scans holding implications for further work-up and risk stratification.
