Recurrent laryngeal/hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LHSCC) is commonly associated with poor survival outcomes. We evaluated the prognostic role of 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18 F-FDG PET/CT) parameters quantitatively measured in patients who underwent salvage treatments for recurrent LHSCC. ⋯ 18 F-FDG PET/CT can be useful in predicting postsalvage recurrence and survival in patients with recurrent LHSCC.
