  1. n corresponds to the number of patients with lesions in either the primary tumour site, liver, or the lymph nodes
  2. The number of patients with lesions in the bones and lungs was too small (≤ 1 in each category) to allow a meaningful interpretation of PET/CT scans for these organs
  3. CT computed tomography, PET positron emission tomography, SD standard deviation, SUV standardised uptake value
