Özet
Introduction The aim of this study was to evaluate tumor response using fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (F-18-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in patients who received yttrium-90 selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) for colorectal liver metastases. The initial and sixth-week tumor lesion glycolysis values were calculated to evaluate the success of the treatment and compare it with patient survival.
