Abstract

OBJECTIVES: Reliable methods for predicting pathological complete response (pCR) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy are still under exploration. Although Fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) features reflect tumour response, their utility in predicting pCR remains controversial.
