Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: We investigated the correlation between metabolic response by (18)F-FDG PET and objective response, glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT4) expression, and KIT/PDGFRA mutation status in patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumor undergoing neoadjuvant imatinib mesylate therapy. METHODS: (18)F-FDG PET was performed at baseline, 1-7 d, and 4 or 8 wk after imatinib mesylate initiation. Best objective...
