Abstract
Maximum standardized uptake value (SUV<sub>max</sub>) on PET imaging is prognostic in cervical cancer. It was recently demonstrated that low pretreatment SUV<sub>max</sub> is associated with superior prognosis and is correlated with decreased inflammatory signaling and myeloid-derived cell infiltration into the tumor microenvironment, potentially identifying susceptibility to targeted therapies.<i>See related article by Floberg et al., p. 4245</i>.
