The PET-Derived Tumor-to-Liver Standard Uptake Ratio (SUVTLR) Is Superior to Tumor SUVmax in Predicting Tumor Response and Survival After Chemoradiotherapy in Patients With Locally Advanced Esophageal Cancer

The PET-Derived Tumor-to-Liver Standard Uptake Ratio (SUVTLR) Is Superior to Tumor SUVmax in Predicting Tumor Response and Survival After Chemoradiotherapy in Patients With Locally Advanced Esophageal Cancer

Background: The maximum standardized uptake values (SUVmax) derived from 18F-fluorodeoxy-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) have some well-known shortcomings in predicting treatment response and prognosis in oncology. The standardized SUVmax with an appropriate...
