[Value of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography in three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy for locally persistent or recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma].
To explore the clinical value of (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography ((18)FDG-PET) in three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) for locally residual and recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). ⋯ 3D-CRT combined with (18)FDG-PET for delineation of GTV is effective and feasible in the treatment of locally residual or recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma after initial radiotherapy, producing good responses without serious complications.
