## 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
Objectives/Hypothesis: Using a retrospective approach, the aim of this study was to confirm the previously described value of fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography ( 18 F-FDG-PET/CT) in patients with primary extranodal lymphoma of the head and neck region. A
## Abstract ## Background. The aim of this study was to determine the benefits of ^18^fluoroโfluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (^18^FโFDG PET) in the detection of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) recurrence in patients with negative clinical followโup. ## Methods. Whol
## Abstract ## Background. Conventional imaging is limited in identifying persistent disease after organโpreserving 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^Fโfluoroโ2โdeoxyโDโglu
