Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Data in the literature regarding the use of F-FDG avidity of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) as an imaging biomarker to predict the status of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation are conflicting. Association between KRAS mutation and FDG avidity of NSCLC on PET/CT is not well known. We assessed whether the EGFR or KRAS mutation status in NSCLC can be predicted by FDG avidity by performing...
