Early prediction of histopathological response of rectal tumors after one week of preoperative radiochemotherapy using (18) F-FDG PET-CT imaging. A prospective clinical study

Initial data suggest that the tumor’s metabolic response, i.e. reduction of its (18) F-FDG uptake compared with the baseline, observed after two weeks of RCT, may correlate with histopathological r...
