Lymph node standardized uptake values at pre-treatment (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography as a valuable prognostic factor for distant metastasis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study was to evaluate prognostic values of pre-treatment fluorine-18 fludeoxyglucose ((18)F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) parameters for predicting the distant metastasis (DM) of nasopharyngeal cancer. METHODS: 73 patients diagnosed with nasopharyngeal can...
