Evaluation of brain metabolism using F18-FDG PET/CT imaging in patients diagnosed with lung cancer
While most brain regions showed reduced metabolism, potentially due to tumor-brain glucose competition, others were preserved or positively correlated with TLG, suggesting a link to poor prognosis. The reduced metabolism in the frontal lobe might be associated with depression and cognitive decline in cancer patients.
