Post-Radiation PET Shows Higher Diagnostic Accuracy in HPV-Negative Head and Neck Cancers

PET/CT is reliable for post-treatment assessment, especially in p16-negative HNSCC. In p16-positive cases, careful interpretation and standardized PET/CT criteria are needed to reduce false positives and avoid unnecessary surgery.
