FDG uptake correlates with recurrence and survival after treatment of unresectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer with high-dose proton therapy and chemotherapy

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>We studied whether maximum standardized uptake values (SUV) from [<sup>18</sup> F] PET/CT predict clinical outcome after concurrent proton/chemotherapy for stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).</p> <p>...
