Abstract

Objective

This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of F-18 FDG PET/CT in comparison with Tc-99m sestamibi breast-specific gamma imaging (BSGI) and previously established clinical prognostic parameters of invasive ductal breast carcinoma (IDC).

Methods

We retrospectively included 157 female IDC patients (mean age 49.2 years, range 29.9–78.9) who underwent PET/CT and BSGI. The maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) and tumor to normal background ratios (TNRs) of their primary tumors were measured on PET/CT and BSGI, respectively. Univariate and multivariate survival analyses were performed to evaluate the prognostic value of the measured parameters and other clinical prognostic factors: age, menopausal status, breast density, pathologic tumor size (pTS), axillary nodal status (ANS), nuclear grade, histologic grade, hormone receptor status of estrogen (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) and HER-2 expression.

Results

Among 157 patients, recurrences occurred in 22 patients (14.0 %). In univariate analyses, pTS (p < 0.0001), ANS (p < 0.0001), nuclear grade (p = 0.0046), histologic grade (p = 0.0001), ER status (p < 0.0001), PR status (p = 0.0037), HER-2 status (p = 0.0007), primary tumor SUVmax (p < 0.0001) and TNR (p = 0.0001) were significant predictors of recurrence. Among them, pTS (p = 0.0172), ANS (p = 0.0416), ER status (p = 0.0375) and primary tumor SUVmax (p = 0.0239) were independent prognostic factors in multivariate regression analysis.

Conclusions

High primary tumor SUVmax of PET/CT and high TNR of BSGI were poor prognostic factors in IDC patients; in addition, primary tumor SUVmax was an independent prognostic factor along with pTS, ANS and ER status.
