INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study is to assessment of therapy response to radiotherapy or concurrent chemoradiotherapy in patients with head and neck carcinoma using with Positron Emission Tomography/Computer Tomography. MATERIAL and METHODS: 36 head and neck cancer patients who were treated in our clinic between April 2009 and April 2011 were prospectively included this study. All patients were scanned with Positron Emission Tomography/Computer Tomography imaging before and after treatment and therapy response was evaluated by using standard uptake value max. Positron Emission Tomography/Computer Tomography results and biopsy that was taken from primary tumor as histopatologic assessing used for patients staging. This staging is based on American Joint Committee on Cancer 6.th edition. RESULTS: Patients who were accepted this study were 32 male (88,9 %) and 4 female (11,1 %). The mean age of the patients was 57,5 (35-77) years. Mean follow up time was 13,5 months. Pretreatment mean of standard uptake value max was 11. High standard uptake values max (>11) predicted significantly worse treatment response as compared with low standard uptake value max ( |
