Abstract

This case report shows the high PSMA-uptake in a patient with an adenoid cystic carcinoma of the maxillary sinus. Due to the intense ligand-uptake additional information for target volume delineation was obtained and the Treatment plan for bimodal radiotherapy with carbon ions was adapted accordingly.
