Abstract
Sequential 18FDG-PET allows assessment of the response to preoperative RT. Both %ÎSUVmean and %ÎSUVmax correlate with histopathologic response and can be used to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of different neoadjuvant treatment strategies. The maximum accuracy figures and the positive predictive value figures for both Î%SUVmean and Î%SUVmax are, however, too low to justify modification of the standard treatment protocol of an individual patient.
