Standardized uptake value is of prognostic value for outcome in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

Baitao Zhang, Xiaoming Li, and Xiuying Lu

Acta Otolaryngol 130(7):756-62 (2010) PMID 20085442

The literature-based meta-analysis confirmed that increased standardized uptake value (SUV) of the primary tumor is a poor prognostic factor in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), which should be further confirmed in a meta-analysis based on individual patient data.
