Pretreatment tumor-related leukocytosis misleads positron emission tomography-computed tomography during lymph node staging in gynecological malignancies
Modern imaging techniques can detect cancer cells in the lymph nodes of cancer patients. In this study, the authors show that tumour related leukocytosis, a phenomenon where leukocytes are increased in number, can lead to the false positive detection of cancer cells in lymph nodes.
