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

BACKGROUND: We studied whether maximum standardized uptake values (SUV) from [(18) F] PET/CT predict clinical outcome after concurrent proton/chemotherapy for stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS: Eighty-four patients were treated prospectively with 74 Gy(RBE) proton therapy and con...
