Pre-treatment tumour PET metrics and clinical outcomes of anal cancer in patients living with and without HIV
Outcomes were comparable between HIV-negative patients and PLWH. Pre-treatment PET metrics were validated as significantly predicting outcomes for the entire cohort and HIV-negative patients, not PLWH. This may be from small numbers of PLWH patients, or non-specific uptake in patients with uncontrolled HIV reducing PET's prognostic efficacy.
