Abstract

The article provides information on a study which assessed growth and progression of untreated nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) by comparing diagnostic and radiotherapy (RT) planning fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) scans prior to proposed radical chemo-RT. A review of the related literature on tumor growth rates and pretreatment imaging studies in NSCLC is offered. It presents in detail the findings of the study.
