18F-FDG PET to Detect Cervical Node Metastases in HNSCC
Diagnosing lymph node metastases of patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is especially critical to make treatment decisions for patients who have been clinically diagnosed as cervical lymph node negative (cN0). Positron emission tomography with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG PET) is a method that has been proposed to improve diagnosis of these metastases. To determine how well 18F-FDG PET performs as a diagnostic tool in this situation and how it compares with other diagnostic methods, Kyzas et al. (p. 712) performed a meta-analysis of 32 studies that included 1236 patients. Across all patients, sensitivity of 18
