Accuracy of 18F-FDG PET/CT in Predicting Residual Disease After Neoadjuvant Chemoradiotherapy for Esophageal Cancer

TL;DR: Qualitative and quantitative analyses of 18F-FDG PET/CT are unable to accurately detect TRG3–4 and to discriminate substantial residual disease from benign inflammation-induced 18F -FDG uptake after nCRT, however, 18F,FDGPET/CT is useful for the detection of interval metastases and might become useful in an active surveillance strategy with serial 18F/CT scanning.
