   Sammanfattning : Treatment options of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) usually include combinations of radiotherapy and surgery, and in some cases addition of chemotherapy. In locally advanced cases cure rates are low. Current prognostic factors cannot foresee the outcome for the individual patient. LÄS MER

5. 4. Radiolabeled acetate PET in oncology imaging studies on head and neck cancer, prostate cancer and normal distribution
