The PET-Derived Tumor-to-Liver Standard Uptake Ratio (SUVTLR) Is Superior to Tumor SUVmax in Predicting Tumor Response and Survival After Chemoradiotherapy in Patients With Locally Advanced Esophageal Cancer

Conclusions: PET-derived SUVTLR is superior to tumor SUVmax and SUVTBR in predicting treatment response and overall survival in patients with ESCC undergoing CCRT. High SUVTLR was an independent predictor of poor treatment response and shorter overall survival.
