Soft-tissue metastasis (STM) is a relatively rare, but not exceptional, manifestation of lung cancer. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the imaging features of STM from lung cancer using fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT), and assess the impact of STM detected at baseline PET/CT on patient survival. | Imaging features and prognostic value of 18F-FDG PET CT detection of soft-tissue metastasis from lung cancer A retrospective study
