Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: 18F-fluoro-2-deoxy-glucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) is a functional imaging modality based on glucose metabolism. The correlation between EGFR or KRAS mutation status and the standardized uptake value (SUV) of 18F-FDG PET scanning has not been fully elucidated. METHODS: Correlations between EGFR or KRAS mutation status and clinicopathological factors including SUVmax were...
