Identifying programmed death-ligand-1 (PD-L1) expression is crucial for optimizing treatment strategies involving immune checkpoint inhibitors. However, the role of intratumoral metabolic heterogeneity specifically derived from F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) images in...
