Positron emission tomography (PET) parameters for a combination of the primary tumor and suspicious metastatic lymph nodes (SMLNs) appear to be more potential than those for the primary tumor alone for evaluating tumor recurrence in locally advanced cervical carcinoma (LACC), while the optimal threshold has not been determined. This study investigated the optimal PET parameters and percentage of SUV max (%SUV max ) thresholds for tumor recurrence evaluation, and the relationship with hematological parameters in patients with LACC treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT).
