Abstract

Abstract:

Radiotherapy is an important treatment for esophageal cancer, and accurate delineation of target volume is the premise and basis for ensuring the efficacy of radiotherapy. The delineation of target volume is based on a variety of computed tomography (CT) imaging information. This paper will review the application of positron emission tomography/CT (PET-CT) in the delineation of target volume for radiotherapy of esophageal cancer and its metastatic lymph nodes, with an aim to emphasize the important role of PET-CT in delineating the primary lesion and lymph node metastasis of esophageal cancer.

Key words: Esophageal cancer, Radiotherapy, Positron emission tomography/computed tomography, Target
