Abstract excerpt
This retrospective study was performed to evaluate a possible association between the presence of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations and the standardized uptake value (SUV) of (18)F-fluoro-2-deoxy-glucose ((18)F-FDG) uptake in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We included 100 patients who were tested for EGFR mutations by direct sequencing of resected tissues and who underwent...
