Improving the Prognostic Performance of SUV<sub>max</sub> in <sup>18</sup>F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron-Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography Using Tumor-to-Liver and Tumor-to-Blood Standard Uptake Ratio for Locally Advanced Cervical Cancer Treated with Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy

Improving the Prognostic Performance of SUV<sub>max</sub> in <sup>18</sup>F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron-Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography Using Tumor-to-Liver and Tumor-to-Blood Standard Uptake Ratio for Locally Advanced Cervical Cancer Treated with Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy

Objective: We sought to evaluate whether the <sup>18</sup>F-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake normalization of the primary tumor to both the liver and blood pool and lymph nodes to both the liver and blood pool can enhance the discrimination for prognosis prediction in patients with cervical can...
