The aim of this study was to assess the risk of atherosclerosis in patients with lung cancer compared to patients with extrapulmonary malignancies using 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT). We hypothesized that patients with lung cancer would demonstrate increased FDG uptake in the thoracic aorta compared to patients with extrapulmonary cancers. Thirty-four lung cancer patients (21 male, 13 female, 64.1 ± 12.9 yo) were retrospectively compared to seventy-eight patients with extrapulmon
