Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Spatial organization of tumor phenotype is of great interest to radiotherapy target definition and outcome prediction. We characterized tumor phenotype in patients with cancers of the oropharynx through voxel-based correlation of PET images of metabolism, proliferation, and hypoxia. METHODS: Patients with oropharyngeal cancer received (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT, (18)F-fluorothymidine (FLT)...
