Does lung tumor growth correlate with glucose metabolism measured by fluoride-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography?
These data suggest a direct relation between tumor growth and FDG uptake in lung cancer. The technique of FDG PET demonstrates exceptional accuracy and may permit prompt diagnosis of lung cancer.
Both assays showed an association between positive results and significant protection from subsequent infections for HPV16 and HPV18 combined. cLIA seroprevalence was lower than VLP ELISA, suggesting that the assay detects a subset of antibodies following natural infection that are specifically linked to immunity against subsequent HPV infection.
