Abstract

Aim: We investigated the correlation between F-18-FDG PET/CT indices and pathological response in breast cancer treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) which was scored with Residual Cancer Burden (RCB) system after surgery. Our aim is to detect extensive residual cancer burden earlier by using PET/CT indices.
