This study aims to investigate whether nodal metabolic tumour volume (nMTV) and nodal total lesion glycolysis (nTLG) on Fluorine‐18 fluoro‐deoxy‐glucose positron emission tomography–computed tomography (18F‐FDG PET/CT) in inoperable node‐positive stage II and III non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are independent predictors of overall survival (OS) in patients undergoing curative‐intent chemoradiotherapy/radiotherapy (CRT/RT).
