Abstract:Objective
To explore the value of 18F-FDG PET/CT tumor metabolic heterogeneity index (HI) and establish and validate a nomogram model for distinguishing head and neck cancer of unknown primary (HNCUP) from lymphoma with head and neck metastatic poorly differentiated cancer.
Methods
This retrospective analysis was conducted on 1242 patients with cervical metastatic poorly differentiated cancer. 108 patients, who were clinically and pathologically confirm… Show more
