## Abstract ## Background. The usefulness of fluorine 18βlabelled deoxyglucose positron emission tomography (PET) in the detection of unknown primary tumor in patients seen with malignant cervical lymphadenopathy thought to arise from a head and neck primary differs in the published reports to dat
## 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
