The best diagnostic performance of nodal staging in patients with oesophageal cancer was achieved by application of RImax with a cut-off of more than 6% on DTP 18F-FDG PET/CT with the exclusion of calcified lymph nodes. Optimal clinical management in surgically-candidate oesophageal cancer patients could be achieved using the diagnostic flow on DTP 18F-FDG PET/CT.
