Prognostic value of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography in patients with small hepatocellular carcinoma treated by radiofrequency ablation

Abstract Background 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) uptake in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is significantly associated with early recurrence and survival after curative surgical resection. However, there are no reports regarding the relationship between 18F-FDG uptake and outcomes after radiofreq...
