“…This preclinical investigation, however, cannot be directly compared with this study because uniform irradiation was delivered to the tumors stratified by median SUV max to low or high FDG uptake tumors assuming that each tumor represents a subvolume of a tumor in a single patient, whereas in this study, the nonuniform dose distributions were applied on the basis of intratumoral FDG uptake. Here, we used lower radiation doses of 8 and 12 Gy that have been shown previously to induce significant growth delay in rhabdomyosarcoma tumor model when delivered uniformly (33,35). Moreover, TGT V2 increases with increasing uniform radiation doses ( Supplementary Fig.…”
