Early prediction of histopathological response of locally advanced rectal cancer after 1 week of preoperative radiochemotherapy using 18FDG PET-CT imaging: a prospective clinical validation study

Early prediction of histopathological response of locally advanced rectal cancer after 1 week of preoperative radiochemotherapy using 18FDG PET-CT imaging: a prospective clinical validation study
