The prospective study aims to explore the value of total-body PET/CT dynamic imaging (uExplorer) in assessing tumor metabolic heterogeneity and predicting prognosis for patients with locally advanced, unresectable non-small cell lung cancer (stage III) treated by neoadjuvant chemotherapy plus nivolumab and definitive concurrent chemoradiation therapy.
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
15
A total-body positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scanner (uEXPLORER) with a 192-cm scan range was applied for cancer diagnosis, organ function assessment and treatment outcome prediction. The total-body PET scanner can acquire scans with lower administered activity or short acquisition time, total-body dynamic acquisition at a longer delayed time point, and high detectability of exiguous changes of the whole body, and tumor as well.
