Prognostic value of lymph node to primary tumor standardized uptake value ratio in unresectable esophageal cancer

Prognostic value of lymph node to primary tumor standardized uptake value ratio in unresectable esophageal cancer

Abstract Background Unresectable esophageal cancer harbors high mortality despite chemoradiotherapy. Better patient selection for more personalized management may result in better treatment outcomes. We presume the ratio of maximum standardized uptake value (SUV) of metastatic lymph nodes to primary...
