3’-Deoxy-3’-[18F]-fluorothymidine PET/CT in early determination of prognosis in patients with esophageal squamous cell cancer

Purpose The purpose of this work was to investigate the prognostic value of response analysis using early 3’-deoxy-3’-[18F]-fluorothymidine (18F-FLT) PET/CT in esophageal squamous cancer patients and make a comparison with [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) PET/CT.
