Comparison of PET-CT and conventional imaging in staging pediatric rhabdomyosarcoma.

abstract：BACKGROUND:While pediatric low-grade glioma/glioneuronal tumors (LGG/LGGNTs) are considered slow-growing, indolent tumors with excellent long-term prognosis, mortality due to the disease is not unknown. Few studies have addressed the cause of death in this population. METHODS:Retrospective review of clinicopathologic ...
