Fusion Positron Emission/Computed Tomography Underestimates the Presence of Hilar Nodal Metastases in Patients With Resected Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Fusion PET/CT lacks sensitivity and specificity in identifying hilar nodal metastasis in patients with resected non-small cell lung cancer. Further prospective studies assessing the utility of PET/CT versus alternative sampling techniques are warranted.
