Positron emission tomography–computed tomography before treatment is highly prognostic of distant metastasis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients after intensity-modulated radiotherapy treatment: A prospective study with long-term follow-up
Abstract
The utility of [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) in the prediction of distant metastasis after definitive treatment for non-disseminated NPC patients is not clear. We prospectively investigated the prognostic significance of 18F-FDG PET-CT performed before treatment for the distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS) of NPC patients treated with intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) ± chemotherapy. The results of...
