Prognostic role of primary tumor metabolic-volumetric parameters of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography in tongue squamous cell carcinoma
Abstract:Aim: It was aimed to evaluate the prognostic role of primary tumor metabolic-volumetric parameters of 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in resectable tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC).
Materials and Methods: The imaging findings of 44 TSCC patients (23 females, 21 males, mean age: 58 ± 12) with resectable tumors who underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging for primary staging before surgery between 2010-2021 were evaluated retrospectively. Maximum stan… Show more
