Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
We plan to conduct a prospective study: 1. to evaluate the accuracy of PET in staging patients with potentially operable non-small cell lung cancer; 2. to evaluate the percentage of futile thoracotomy after PET is introduced in the routine staging modalities for NSCLC patient; 3. to establish a decision tree model based on choices between conventional imaging only and additional PET imaging to analyze their cost-effectiveness.
