Usefulness of positron emission tomography for assessing the response of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy in patients with esophageal cancer

Background: In this study, we retrospectively assessed the performance of 18-F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) compared with computed tomography (CT) and esophagography for assessing the response of advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) to neoadjuvant chemoradio...
