Investigation of the distribution of inguinal lymph nodes and delineation of the inguinal clinical target volume using 18F-FDG PET/CT

Investigation of the distribution of inguinal lymph nodes and delineation of the inguinal clinical target volume using 18F-FDG PET/CT

Abstract Objective Radiotherapy is a crucial treatment modality for pelvic cancers, but uncertainties persist in defining the clinical target volume (CTV) for the inguinal lymphatic drainage region. Suboptimal CTV delineation may compromise treatment efficacy and result in subpar disease control. Th...
