↵* Specific cancer types are listed when there were at least 500 cases for initial staging, restaging, and detection of suspected recurrence combined.
↵† Odds ratios compare chance of having plan for treatment after PET with chance of having plan for treatment before PET. Because more participants had treatment plans after PET than before PET, values were consistently higher than one.
Except for odds ratios, data are reported as percentages of cases.
