We tested whether the significant predictors could provide any complimentary information to clinical stage of T4/N3 and the sum of all nodal GTVs at 2 weeks for prediction of DF, and found that neither total TV BV , nor mean and max SUV, nor total TLG of all nodal tumors had a p < 0.3, and only TV BV of primary tumors at 2 weeks showed marginally significant ( p = 0.06).
