Abstract
Patients with esophageal cancer often undergo 201Tl myocardial imaging for preoperative risk evaluation, thereby providing an excellent opportunity to assess tumor handling of 201Tl. We thus compared the characteristics of 201Tl and 18F-FDG uptake by esophageal cancer and further investigated their prognostic values.Keywords
