PET-CT scans associated with mortality benefit
Imaging before diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer makes the difference, study suggests
Imaging by PET-CT prior to diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer is likely contributing to more stage-appropriate treatment and a lower disease mortality rate, study results suggest.
US researchers used data on more than 64,000 veterans (98% male) diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer between 2000 and 2013.
