Chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced cervix cancer without aortic lymph node involvement: can we consider metabolic parameters of pretherapeutic FDG-PET/CT for treatment tailoring?

Aim of the study was to assess impact of pretherapeutic FDG-PET/CT metabolic parameters on response to chemoradiotherapy (CRT) and survival in locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) patients without paraaortic lymph node involvement. LACC patients treated with CRT without macrometastatic involvement after paraaortic surgical staging were included. All patients had received at least 45 Gy radiotherapy and five cycles of platinum-based...
