Risk Stratification of Metastatic Neck Nodes by CT and PET in Patients with Head and Neck Cancer Receiving Definitive Radiotherapy

Abstract

The outcome of MNNs in patients with head and neck cancer receiving chemoradiotherapy/radiotherapy can be predicted according to radiologic necrosis and N-TLG40% value. The 2 adverse features should be validated in future trials. In this way, patients can be treated alternatively or aggressively.
