Abstract

Objective The objective of this retrospective study is to investigate the association between survival and maximum standardized uptake values (SUVmax) of liver metastases detected by pre-treatment positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) in patients with adenocarcinoma of unknown primary origin (ACUP).
