18F- FDG PET/CT-derived parameters predict clinical stage and prognosis of esophageal cancer

Abstract Background Although 18F- FDG PET/CT is validated in baseline workup of esophageal cancer to detect distant metastases, it remains underused in assessing local staging and biology of the primary tumor. This study aimed to evaluate the association between 18F- FDG PET/CT-derived parameters of...
