The impact of tumor metabolic activity assessed by 18F-FET amino acid PET imaging in particle radiotherapy of high-grade glioma patients

BackgroundSelective uptake of (18)F-fluoro-ethyl-tyrosine (18F-FET) is used in high-grade glioma (HGG) to assess tumor metabolic activity via positron emission tomography (PET). We aim to investigate its value for target volume definition, as a prognosticator, and associations with whole-blood trans...
