Overview of the predictive value of quantitative 18 FDG PET in head and neck cancer treated with chemoradiotherapy

Highlights • SUVMax is a poor predictive parameter when compared with volumetric parameters (MTV, TLG). • MTV and/or TLG pre-treatment are well correlated with clinical outcome. • MTV had a better predictive value than GTV and/or AJCC staging.
