Relationship of the standard uptake value of 18F-FDG-PET-CT with tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in breast tumors measuring ≥ 1 cm

Abstract Evidence suggests that tumor cells and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) compete for glucose in the tumor microenvironment and that tumor metabolic parameters correlate with localized immune markers in several solid tumors. We investigated the relationship of the standardized uptake val...
