Background. Accurate staging of non–small cell lung cancer is essential for treatment planning. We evaluated in a prospective study the role of whole-body 2-[ 18F]fluoro-2-deoxy- d-glucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) in mediastinal nodal staging with a positive predictive value of 96%....
