Prognostic significance of 18F-FDG PET parameters and plasma Epstein-Barr virus DNA load in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Abstract

Total TLG values are primarily associated with tumor burden and clinical stage, whereas tumor TLG is the best predictor of patient survival after treatment.
