18F-FDG uptake on PET in primary mediastinal non-thymic neoplasm: A clinicopathological study

The amount of 18F-FDG uptake in primary mediastinal non-thymic neoplasms is determined by the presence of glucose metabolism (Glut1), hypoxia (HIF-1α) and upstream components of HIF-1α (EGFR, p-Akt and p-S6K).
