Prognostic Value of Tumor Heterogeneity on 18F-FDG PET/CT in HR+HER2− Metastatic Breast Cancer Patients receiving 500 mg Fulvestrant: a retrospective study

Abstract Heterogeneity has been demonstrated to be a predictor of treatment failure and drug resistance. Our study aimed to investigate imaging parameters, including tumor heterogeneity, as prognostic factors of response to 500 mg fulvestrant using 18F-FDG PET/CT. Twenty-seven estrogen receptor (HR)...
