Early post-treatment 18F-FDG PET/CT for predicting radiation-induced hypothyroidism in head and neck cancer

Abstract Background Radiation-induced hypothyroidism (RIHT) is a common, but underestimated, late adverse effect in head and neck cancer. We investigated the value of early post-treatment 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) for predicting RIHT. Meth...
