Prognostic Value of Volume-Based Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography in Patients With Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Treated With Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy

Prognostic Value of Volume-Based Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography in Patients With Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Treated With Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy

ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of volume-based metabolic parameters measured by 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18F-FDG PET) in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).MethodsForty-four NPC patients who underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT for init...
