Abstract

Quantitative FDG PET/CT parameters, particularly SUVmax, provide superior prognostic information compared to visual assessment in SESCC. Incorporating quantitative metabolic imaging into the initial evaluation of early-stage esophageal cancer may enhance risk stratification and inform treatment planning.
