Abstract:
PURPOSE: To evaluate positron emission tomography (PET) using [(18)F]fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) for prediction of histopathologic response early during primary systemic therapy of large or locally advanced breast cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS: In a prospective multicenter trial, 272 FDG-PET scans were performed in 104 patients at baseline (n = 104) and after the first (n = 87) and second cycle (n = 81) of chemotherapy. The level and relative changes in standardized uptake value (SUV) of FDG uptake...     »
