PET-CT Predicting Lymph Nodes Metastasis

This study is a single-center prospective clinical study that aims to evaluate the predictive value of preoperative 18F-FDG-PET-CT and 18F-FAPI-PET/CT for lymph node metastasis in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. The final pathological results were used to assess the predictive value of PET-CT for lymph node metastasis.
