Notes: As G4 in (A) and (B) were compared with every group, “–” indicates P-value not listed. In G1 for (A) and (B), The first P-values was compared with 1 group and the second P-value was compared with all groups.

Abbreviations: SUVmax, maximum standardized uptake value; MTV, metabolic tumor volume; CR, complete response; G, group.
