The high diagnostic performance of FDG PET/CT in detecting recurrence in curatively treated patients with head and neck cancer supports its use in clinical practice for patient follow-up. Further studies are needed to evaluate the prognostic utility of PET/CT in the follow-up of head and neck cancer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
