## 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 ## Background. Conventional imaging is limited in identifying persistent disease after organβpreserving therapy for patients with advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN). We studied the accuracy of positron emission tomography (PET) with ^18^Fβfluoroβ2βdeoxyβDβglu
