Patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) are commonly at high risk of
recurrence within 2 y after initial treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of …

The aim of this study is to evaluate the incremental staging information, management impact,
and prognostic stratification of PET/CT in the primary staging of esophageal cancer in a …

The aim of this study was to assess the diagnostic performance of 18F-FDG PET and
integrated 18F-FDG PET/CT for diagnosing recurrent esophageal cancer after initial …

Aims and objectives The aim of the study was to estimate the incremental value of fluorine-
18 fluorodeoxyglucose (18 F-FDG) PET/computed tomography (CT) in aiding treatment …

AIM: To evaluate the clinical usefulness of 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission and
computed tomography (18 F-FDG PET/CT) in restaging of esophageal cancer after surgical …

Purpose FDG PET has been suggested to have predictive value in the prognosis of
oesophageal carcinoma. However, the retrospective studies reported in the literature have …

We investigated whether the standardized uptake value (SUV) of the primary tumor, the
tumor length measured on a PET image, the number of 18F-FDG PET-positive nodes, and …

Background: Positron emission tomography (PET) with 18-F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) has
already proven useful in assessing the extension of esophageal carcinomas, detecting …
