Management and prognosis of cervical cancer patients treated with definitive radiation therapy who have partial metabolic response on post-therapy positron emission tomography

CONCLUSIONS: If PMR is identified on three-month FDG-PET following completion of radiation for cervical cancer, repeat FDG-PET and/or biopsy are indicated to detect persistence and assist in counseling. PMR predicts poor outcomes, particularly for those with positive cervical biopsies and lymphatic involvement.PMID:35537885 | DOI:10.1016/j.ygyno.2022.04.018
