Researchers detail in '18F-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose standardized uptake value in cavitating non-small-cell lung carcinoma,' new data in lung cancer. According to recent research from the United Kingdom, "Cavitation in lung tumours has been considered as a specific clinical subentity related to worse prognosis and reduced survival.
