Approximately 170,000 people arediagnosed with lung cancer in the United States each
year. Manyof these patients receive external beam radiation for treatment. Fluorine-18 2 …

Purpose To study whether changes of [18F] fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission
tomography (FDG-PET) during treatment correlate with post-treatment responses in tumor …

The clinical usefulness of FDG-PET in the prediction and assessment of response to
radiation therapy in patients with bronchogenic carcinoma was evaluated. Thirty patients …

The purpose of this study was to prospectively evaluate positron emission tomography (PET)
for delineating lung cancers preradiotherapy and to assess PET's ability to distinguish …

Objective To assess early tumor responsiveness and the corresponding effective
radiosensitivity for individual patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) based on 2 …

In the last hundred years, lung cancer has risen from a reportable disease to the most
common cause of death from cancer in both men and women in developed countries (1) …

This study investigated the possibility of early response assessment based on 18F-FDG
uptake during radiotherapy with respect to overall survival in patients with non–small cell …

OBJECTIVES: The objectives were (i) to confirm that diagnostic FDG-PET images could be
obtained during thoracic radiotherapy,(ii) to verify that significant changes in FDG uptake or …
