PET/CT and RT in Esophageal cancer

57 pts with esophageal cancer underwent FDG-PET/CT before CRT (PET1) and at 21 ± 3 days after the beginning of CRT (PET2)

Monitoring of heterogeneous tumour response patterns on serial FDG- PET/CT images acquired during radiotherapy. Early metabolic changes (i.e. variations in FDG uptake) provided additional prognostic information in multivariate analyses
