PET-CT in mediastinal staging of non-small cell lung cancer: analysis of false results
False-negative PET-CT results in the diagnosis of mediastinal lymph node involvement were more likely to occur in PET-CT-based stages IB and IIB and less likely to occur in stage IIIA. FP results were more likely to be expected in men, with higher SUV<sub>max</sub> values of the primary tumour and a more advanced CT-based stage of the disease.
