The normalized distances from the hot spot of radiotracer uptake (SUVmax) to the tumor
centroid (NHOC) and to the tumor perimeter (NHOP) have recently been suggested as novel …

Background Only a small number of studies have explored the clinicopathological features
of pulmonary adenocarcinoma (PA) associated with 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron …

Background: Although pathologic stage I lung cancers generally have a favorable
prognosis, approximately 20% of patients experience recurrence after surgery. Therefore, a …
