To compare and determine the diagnostic accuracy of [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography scan in predicting pathological response in operated carcinoma esophagus patients after initial neoadjuvant chemoradiation and neoadjuvant chemotherapy

The objective of this study was to determine whether [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) scan could predict the pathological response in esoph neoadjuvant concurrent chemoradiation (NACCRT) and neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT). A randomized prospective study was carried ou...
