## Background: [f-18]fluorodeoxyglucose (fdg)-positron emission tomography (pet) can measure the metabolic activity of tissues; fdg-pet may be able to predict response to chemotherapy by identifying changes in tumor metabolism. measurement of response to treatment may help improve survival in the m

## Abstract ## Purpose To assess the efficacy of ^1^H MR spectroscopy (MRS) to evaluate early responses to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer patients, as compared to that of the standardized uptake value (SUV) in ^18^F‐fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET). ## Materi
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND To assess the ability of [^18^F]fluorodeoxyglucose (F‐18 FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) to predict the viability of residual masses after chemotherapy in patients with metastatic nonseminomatous germ cell tumors (GCT), PET results were compared in a blinded analy
