Nodule resection was undertaken in two patients, typical bronchial carcinoid diagnosed in one (FDG nonavid) and metastatic renal cell carcinoma in the second (FDG avid).
We evaluated <sup>18</sup>F-2-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG PET/CT) results as outcome predictors for patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) treated by everolimus (EVL), an inhibitor of mammalian target of rapamycin.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of pretreatment metabolic tumor volume (MTV) and total lesion glycolysis (TLG) using F-FDG PET/CT in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) after treatment with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor-targeted agents.
