Diagnostic Performance of [<sup>18</sup>F]FDG PET in Staging Grade 1–2, Estrogen Receptor Positive Breast Cancer
Positron emission tomography using [<sup>18</sup>F]fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG PET) potentially underperforms for staging of patients with grade 1–2 estrogen receptor positive (ER+) breast cancer. The aim of this study was to retrospectively investigate the diagnostic accuracy of FDG PET in...
