Imaging and Laboratory Evaluation
Imaging studies included two-view chest x-ray, contrast enhanced neck,
chest, abdominal and pelvic computed tomography (CT). Patients who could
not have a CT scan (they were too ill, or CT was not available) had an
evaluation with an ultrasound of the neck, axilla, abdomen, pelvis and
inguinal regions. There was a response assessment at the end of 12-week
chemotherapy and after completion of radiation therapy.
