Measurement uncertainty of lesion and reference mediastinum standardized uptake value in lung cancer.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:The uptake of F-fluorodeoxyglucose (F-FDG) PET/computed tomography (CT) is known to be linked to programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression on tumor cells (TC). However, the association between PD-L1 expression on immune cells (IC) and F-FDG accumulation is still unclear. Here, we conducted a clinicopatholo...
