Intratumoral Heterogeneity of 64Cu-ATSM Uptake is a Prognostic Indicator in Patients with Cervical Cancer

 Introduction: Intratumoral heterogeneity determined by FDG-PET is a poor prognostic factor in cervical cancer. Cu- ATSM has been used to evaluate hypoxia in cervical cancer. In this study, FDG and 64Cu-ATSM uptake patterns were compared and the prognostic significance of 64Cu-ATSM heterogeneity was determined. Methods: 15 patients with cer... Read More»
