The efficacy of pretreatment and after treatment 18F-FDG PET/CT metabolic parameters in patients with locally advanced squamous cell cervical cancer

Objectives Cervical cancer is one of the main causes of cancer death worldwide. Fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) PET/computed tomography (PET/CT) has been playing an increasingly important role in staging and monitoring treatment response in the disease. In the current study, we investigated metabolic 18F-FDG PET/CT parameters among patients with locally advanced squamous cell cervical cancer treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy for...
