Prognostic significance of the harmonized maximum standardized uptake value of 18F-FDG-PET/CT in patients with resectable oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma: a multicenter study
Abstract:Objectives: To investigate the usefulness of harmonized 18F-FDG-PET/CT parameters for predicting the postoperative recurrence and prognosis of oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (OTSCC). Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the cases of 107 OTSCC patients who underwent surgical resection at four institutions in Japan in 2010–2016 and evaluated the harmonized PET parameters of the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax), metabolic tumor volume (MTV), and total lesion glycolysis (TLG) for the primary tumor a… Show more
