Identification of Residual Metabolic-active Areas within Individual NSCLC Tumours using a Pre-Radiotherapy (18)Fluorodeoxyglucose-PET-CT Scan

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tumours are mostly heterogeneous. We hypothesized that areas within the tumour with a high pre-radiation (18)F-deoxyglucose (FDG) uptake, could identify residual metabolic-active areas, ultimately enabling selective-boosting of tumour sub-vo...
