CPC-038 Lung Cancer Staging
Today I’m going to continue my discussion of PET and lung cancer by going through a number of interesting studies. I’ve spoken before about the pitfalls of SUV, but there is research that shows that the SUV combined with Hounsfield units can be very helpful when studying adrenal lesions. Due to a lack of standardized criteria, it is difficult to completely quantify PET’s ability to help categorize patient response, yet the data shows that PET is very useful in therapy response and predicting patient survival.
