Relation of EGFR Mutation Status to Metabolic Activity in Localized Lung Adenocarcinoma and Its Influence on the Use of FDG PET/CT Parameters in Prognosis

摘要

OBJECTIVE. The purposes of this study were to assess the relation between epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation status and FDG PET/CT findings and to evaluate the influence of this relation on the use of FDG PET/CT parameters to establish a prognosis in cases of localized lung adenocarcinoma.
