This study is the first report showing that in LACC patient population with PLN involvement treated with definitive RCT, high SUVmean, SUVmax and TLG of the primary tumor in FDG-PET-CT were linked with longer OS. Lower SUVmean and SUVmax were linked with shorter DMFS. None of the clinical factors and the nodal FDG-PET-CT parameters influenced the outcome.
