18F-FDG PET for retropharyngeal lymph node metastasis in oropharyngeal and hypopharyngeal cancers: impact on diagnosis and prediction analysis
Abstract
Purpose Retropharyngeal lymph node (RPLN) metastasis is a poor prognosticator in oropharyngeal and hypopharyngeal cancers. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18F-FDG PET) on the diagnosis and predictor analysis of RPLN in these cancers. Methods We enrolled patients with oropharyngeal and hypopharyngeal cancers before receiving definitive treatment. Staging was performed by...
