Positron Emission Tomography-Based Short-Term Efficacy Evaluation and Prediction in Patients With Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Treated With Hypo-Fractionated Radiotherapy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Positron emission tomography is known to provide more accurate estimates than computed tomography when staging non-small cell lung cancer. The aims of this prospective study were to contrast the short-term efficacy of the two imaging methods while evaluating the effects of hypo-fractionated radiotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer, and to establish a short-term efficacy prediction model based on the radiomics features of positron emission tomography.

Methods

This nonrandomized-controlled trial was conducted from March 2015 to June 2019. Thirty-one lesions of 30 patients underwent the delineation of the regions of interest on positron emission tomography and computed tomography 1 month before, and 3 months after hypo-fractionated radiotherapy. Each patient was ev
