Impact of suboptimal dosimetric coverage of pretherapeutic 18F-FDG PET/CT hotspots on outcome in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer treated with chemoradiotherapy followed by brachytherapy

Impact of suboptimal dosimetric coverage of pretherapeutic 18F-FDG PET/CT hotspots on outcome in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer treated with chemoradiotherapy followed by brachytherapy

Introduction: Areas of high uptake on pre-treatment 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT), denoted as “hotspots”, have been identified as preferential sites of local relapse in locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC). The purpose of this study was...
