Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Tumor glycolytic phenotyping can be accomplished with (18)F-FDG PET. Tumor (18)F-FDG uptake correlates with tumor grade in several cancers. However, the role of (18)F-FDG PET for the grading of soft-tissue sarcomas (STSs) warrants further research. METHODS: One hundred two patients (48 men and 54 women; mean age +/- SD, 50 +/- 17 y) with 12 STS subtypes underwent (18)F-FDG PET/CT before treatment....
