Metabolic response by FDG-PET to imatinib correlates with exon 11 KIT mutation and predicts outcome in patients with mucosal melanoma
BACKGROUND: In patients with metastatic melanoma and KIT amplifications and/or mutations, therapy with imatinib mesylate may prolong survival. (18)F-labeled 2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose ((18)F-FDG) PET/CT may be used to assess metabolic response. We investigated associations of metabolic response, mut...
