The Value of Preoperative Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography in Node-Negative Endometrial Cancer on Magnetic Resonance Imaging

The aim of this study was to investigate the value of [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) in predicting lymph node status in node-negative endometrial cancer on preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Patients with endometrial cancer who underwent both preoperative MRI and FDG-PET/CT followed by hysterectomy and lymphadenectomy were initially included. We then enrolled patients with MRI-defined node-negative disease (lymph nodes
