18F-FDG-PET/CT can be used to predict distant metastasis in hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma

Abstract Background Hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HPSCC) has a high rate of distant metastasis, resulting in poor prognosis. The role of the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax), which was assessed via pretreatment 18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET), and com...
