## BACKGROUND. Second primary tumors are a leading cause of death among patients with head and neck cancer; therefore, early detection of these tumors is necessary. In the current study, the authors aimed to evaluate the diagnostic capacity of 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose dual-head positron emission t
## 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
