18F-FDG primary tumor uptake to improve N status prediction in cT1 non-metastatic non-small cell lung cancer: development and validation of a positron emission tomography model

Purpose:Occult lymph node involvement is a major issue in the management of non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC), with an estimated prevalence of approximately 2.9–21.6% in 18F-FDG PET/CT series. The aim of the study is to construct a PET model to improve lymph node assessment.Methods:Patients with...
