Table 2 Correlations between tumor size and sensitivity of positron emission tomography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging or tumor markers

TS (cm)	n	PET (%)	CT (%)	MRI (%)	CEA (%)	CA19-9 (%)
TS1 ( ≤ 2)	5	100^a	40	0	0	40
TS2 (> 2, ≤ 4)	15	93	93	89	20	73
TS3-4 (> 4)	11	100	100	100	73	91

TS: Tumor size; PET: Positron emission tomography; CT: Computed tomography; MRI: Magnetic resonance imaging; CEA: Carcinoembryonic antigen; CA19-9: Carbohydrate antigen 19-9.

^aP = 0.002 vs MRI or CEA, P = 0.038 vs CT or CA19-9.
