Clinicopathologic Features and Molecular Characteristics of Glucose Metabolism Contributing to ¹⁸F-fluorodeoxyglucose Uptake in Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors.

Fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET/CT) is useful in the preoperative diagnosis of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs); however, the molecular characteristics of glucose metabolism of GIST are unknown. We evaluated 18F-FDG uptake on preo...
