We carried out a study to evaluate treatment response and residual mass in lung cancer with positron emission tomography (PET), using L-[methyl-11C]methionine (MET). MET turnout uptake and tumour volume measured by computed tomography (CT) before and within 2 weeks after radiotherapy or chemoradioth
## 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
