Objectives In this study, we aimed to define the efficacy of F-18 FDG PET/CT for the detection of mediastinal lymph nodemetastases by comparing the mediastinal findings of F-18 FDG PET/CT with the histopathological results obtained either by mediastinoscopy or thoracotomy in patients with clinically operable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
