Abstract
Background The purpose of this study was to investigate the prognostic value of percentage variation of metabolic tumor burden in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Methods Patients referred to undergo 18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)‐CT for staging of HNSCC were included in this study. Using a dual‐phase method, standardized uptake value maximum (SUVmax), metabolic tumor volume (MTV), and...
