Abstract

Objectives

Previously published studies showed that the standard tumor-to-blood standardized uptake value (SUV) ratio (SUR) was a more accurate prognostic method than tumor maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax). This study evaluated and compared prognostic value of positron emission tomography (PET) parameters and normalized value of PET parameters by blood pool SUV in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who received curative surgery.

Methods

Seventy-seven patients who underwent curative resection for NSCLC between January 2010 to December 2013 were enrolled in this study. 18Fluorine-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) was performed before surgery. The mean standardized uptake value (SUVmean), SUVmax, metabolic tumor volume (MTV), and total lesion glycolysis (TLG) of each lesion was measured, on the workstation. SURmean, SURmax, and TLGSUR were calculated by dividing each of them by descending aorta SUVmean. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to analyze the effect of age, sex, pathological parameters, and PET parameters on recurrence and death.

Results

In Cox regression analysis, N stage predicted for both recurrence (p < 0.0001) and death (p < 0.0001). SURmax predicted recurrence (p = 0.0014), not death. Area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of SURmax was 0.759 with cutoff value 4.004. However, SUVmax, SUVmean, MTV, TLG, SURmean, and TLGSUR predicted neither recurrence nor death.

Conclusions

Among PET parameters, SURmax was the independent predictor of recurrence in NSCLC patients who received curative surgery. N stage was the independent prognostic factor for both recurrence and death. Both parameters could be used to stratify the risk of NSCLC patients.
