Abstract excerpt
2-Deoxy-2-[fluorine-18] fluoro-d-glucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) is a useful modality for the assessment of tumour glucose metabolism by upregulation by hypoxia. Little is known whether the uptake of 18F-FDG within cancer cells is linked to the expression of programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1), a predictor of anti-PD-1 antibody. We conducted a clinicopathological study to assess the expression...
