Beneficial implications of adjuvant chemotherapy for stage IB lung adenocarcinoma exhibiting elevated SUVmax in FDG-PET/CT: a retrospective study from a single center. Front Oncol 2024; 14:1367200. [PMID: 38529383 PMCID: PMC10961360 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2024.1367200] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2024] [Accepted: 02/26/2024] [Indexed: 03/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Controversy surrounds the efficacy of adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) in the treatment of stage I lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). The objective of this study was to examine the impact of the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) as measured by 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) on the efficacy of ACT in patients diagnosed with stage I LUAD. Methods We scrutinized the medical records of 928 consecutive patients who underwent complete surgical resection for pathological stage I LUAD at our institution. The ideal cut-off value for primary tumor SUVmax in terms of disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) was determined using the X-tile software. The Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression analysis were used for survival analysis. Results Based on the SUVmax algorithm, the ideal cutoff values were determined to be 4.9 for DFS and 5.0 for OS. We selected 5.0 as the threshold because OS is the more widely accepted predictive endpoint. In a multivariate Cox regression analysis, SUVmax ≥ 5.0, problematic IB stage, and sublobectomy were identified as independent risk factors for poor DFS and OS. It is noteworthy that patients who were administered ACT had significantly longer DFS and OS than what was observed in the subgroup of patients with pathological stage IB LUAD and SUVmax ≥ 5.0 (p < 0.035 and p ≤ 0.046, respectively). However, there was no observed survival advantage for patients in stages IA or IB who had an SUVmax < 5.0. Conclusion The preoperative SUVmax of tumors served as an indicator of the impact of ACT in the context of completely resected pathological stage I LUAD. Notably, patients within the Stage IB category exhibiting elevated SUVmax levels emerged as a subgroup experiencing substantial benefits from postoperative ACT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are few reports on the utility of the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) for predicting the prognosis of early-stage lung adenocarcinoma based on the latest tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) classification. This study aimed to determine whether clinicopathologic factors, including the SUVmax, affect prognosis in these patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS We enrolled 527 patients with c-stage IA lung adenocarcinoma who underwent lobectomy or greater resection between 2011 and 2017. Recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier curves and compared using the log-rank test. Factors associated with RFS and OS were determined using the Cox proportional hazards model. RESULTS RFS was significantly different based on tumor stage. In contrast, there was no significant difference in OS between patients with stage IA2 and IA3 disease (p = 0.794), although there were significant differences in OS between patients with stage IA1 and IA2 disease (p = 0.024) and between patients with stage IA1 and IA3 disease (p = 0.012). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that SUVmax was independently associated with both RFS and OS among patients with c-stage IA lung adenocarcinoma (RFS, p = 0.017; OS, p = 0.047). Further, even though there was no significant difference in OS between patients with stage IA2 and IA3 disease (n = 410), SUVmax was able to stratify patients with high and low RFS and OS among these patients (RFS, p < 0.001; OS, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION SUVmax was an important preoperative factor to evaluate prognosis among patients with c-stage IA lung adenocarcinoma as well as the current TNM classification.

Retention index of FDG-PET/CT SUVmax of the primary tumor in non-small cell lung cancer as a predictor of lymph node metastasis: a retrospective study. Eur J Hybrid Imaging 2022; 6:21. [PMID: 36163522 PMCID: PMC9512945 DOI: 10.1186/s41824-022-00141-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2022] [Accepted: 07/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Accurate staging of non-small cell lung cancer is key in treatment planning and prediction of prognosis. We investigated the correlation between the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) retention index (RI) of the primary tumor and lymph node metastasis in non-small cell lung carcinoma. We also evaluated the tendencies according to the histological types. Methods We retrospectively evaluated 218 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tumors from 217 patients who underwent preoperative fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) followed by lung surgery and lymph node resection between July 2015 and August 2020. All primary tumors were calculated as the SUVmax at 50 min (SUVmaxearly [SUVmaxe]) and 120 min (SUVmaxdelayed [SUVmaxd]), and RI. The clinicopathological factors of interest were compared based on lymph node metastasis status and NSCLC histopathological subtype. Results The median SUVmaxe and SUVmaxd of the primary tumors were 3.3 and 4.2, respectively, and the median RI was 0.25. The RI was significantly higher in the pN(+) (n = 44) group (0.30) compared to the pN0 (n = 174) group (0.24) (p = 0.01). In patients with adenocarcinoma (n = 145), the RI was also significantly higher in the pN(+) (n = 29) group (0.29) compared to the pN0 (n = 116) group (0.16) (p < 0.01). A high RI of the primary tumor was an independent risk factor for lymph node metastasis, particularly in patients with adenocarcinoma (odds ratio: 12.30, p < 0.05). Conclusions The RI of primary NSCLC tumors can help predict lymph node metastases, particularly in patients with adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
Various radiological tools can predict the prognosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In this study, we evaluated the prognostic effect of different radiological tools such as whole tumor size (WTS), consolidation size (CS), consolidation tumor ratio (CTR), tumor disappearance ratio (TDR), mediastinal diameter (MD), and ground glass opacity (GGO) using high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT). We reviewed recent retrospective studies on the predictive effect of these radiological tools on disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with T1N0-staged NSCLC. We searched PubMed and the British Library databases for the English literature published from January 2010 to December 2020 and generated a total of 32 publications (NSCLC, n=16; adenocarcinoma, n=16). The TNM classification version 7 was used in 18 studies, and version 8 in 14 studies. The evaluated radiological parameters were WTS, CS including T category, CTR, TDR, MD, presence of GGO, GGO ratio, and pure GGO. This review suggested that CS, MD, and the presence of GGO are optimal prognostic radiological tools for cT1N0-Staged NSCLC. CTR or TDR for part solid nodules (PSNs) is not a well-accepted prognostic factor. Further investigations are required to differentiate between benign scars and malignant components on HRCT and evaluate the prognosis of PSNs (1< CS ≤2 cm) with large WTS in the future.

Tumor-to-liver standard uptake ratio using fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography computed tomography effectively predict occult lymph node metastasis of non-small cell lung cancer patients. Nucl Med Commun 2021; 41:459-468.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We aimed to investigate predictive factors of occult lymph node metastasis and to explore the diagnostic value of various standardized uptake value (SUV) parameters using fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (F-FDG) positron emission tomography computed tomography (PET/CT) in predicting occult lymph node metastasis of clinical N0 non-small cell lung cancer patients. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed PET/computed tomography parameters of tumor and clinical data of 124 clinical N0 non-small cell lung cancer patients who underwent both preoperative F-FDG PET/computed tomography and anatomical pulmonary resection with systematic lymph node dissections. The SUVmax, SUVmean, metabolic total volume, and total lesion glycolysis of the primary tumor was automatically measured on the PET/computed tomography workstation. Standardized uptake ratio (SUR) were derived from tumor standardized uptake value divided by blood SUVmean (B-SUR) or liver SUVmean (L-SUR), respectively. RESULTS According to postoperative pathology, 19 (15%) were diagnosed as occult lymph node metastasis among 124 clinical N0 non-small cell lung cancer patients. On univariate analysis, carcinoembryonic antigen, cytokeratin 19 fragment, lobulation, and all PET parameters were associated with occult lymph node metastasis. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, sensitivity, and negative predictive value of L-SURmax were the highest among all PET parameters (0.778, 94.7%, and 98.4%, respectively). On multivariate analysis, carcinoembryonic antigen, cytokeratin 19 fragment, and L-SURmax were independent risk factors for predicting occult lymph node metastasis. Compared to L-SURmax alone and the combination of carcinoembryonic antigen and cytokeratin 19 fragment, the model consisting of three independent risk factors achieved a greater area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (0.901 vs. 0.778 vs. 0.780, P = 0.021 and 0.0141). CONCLUSIONS L-SURmax showed the most powerful predictive performance than the other PET parameters in predicting occult lymph node metastasis. The combination of three independent risk factors (carcinoembryonic antigen, cytokeratin 19 fragment, and L-SURmax) can effectively predict occult lymph node metastasis in clinical N0 non-small cell lung cancer patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to determine the characteristics, ground glass opacity ratio and prognosis of patients with clinical N0 non-small cell lung cancer tumours exceeding 30 mm in size. METHODS Patients with clinical N0 non-small cell lung cancer and total tumour size >30 mm on preoperative computed tomography who underwent complete resection with lobectomy between January 2007 and December 2017 were included. The patients were divided into three groups: pure solid tumour, low ground glass opacity ratio (1-39%) tumour and high ground glass opacity ratio (≥40%) tumour. The cut-off line was determined based on the recurrence rate for every 10% ground glass opacity ratio. RESULTS Among the 227 study patients, 129 (56.8%) had a pure solid tumour, 54 (23.8%) had a low ground glass opacity ratio tumour and 44 (19.4%) had a high ground glass opacity ratio tumour. Three-year recurrence-free survival was significantly shorter in patients with a pure solid tumour (57.4%) than in patients with a low ground glass opacity ratio (74.5%; P = 0.009) or a high ground glass opacity ratio tumour (92.1%; P < 0.001). Multivariable analysis showed that ground glass opacity ratio was a significant independent prognostic factor for recurrence-free survival (hazard ratio, 0.175; P = 0.037). CONCLUSION Pure solid tumours comprised a large proportion of non-small cell lung cancer tumours >30 mm in size and their prognosis was poor. The presence of ground glass opacity and their relative proportion affect prognosis in patients with clinical N0 non-small cell lung cancer tumours >30 mm in size, similar to those with small-sized tumours.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate the prognosis after segmentectomy as compared with lobectomy for small-sized lung adenocarcinoma with spread through air spaces (STAS). METHODS This retrospective study included 609 patients who underwent lobectomy or segmentectomy with lymph node dissection for clinical stage IA lung adenocarcinoma between April 2011 and March 2020 at Hiroshima University Hospital. Patient characteristics and prognosis after segmentectomy and lobectomy were investigated. RESULTS STAS was detected in 293 patients (48.1%). The recurrence-free survival (RFS) rate was significantly worse with STAS-positive adenocarcinoma than with STAS-negative adenocarcinoma both in patients who underwent lobectomy (5-year RFS, 68.2% vs 90.2%; P < .001) and in patients who underwent segmentectomy (5-year RFS, 81.3% vs 93.0%; P = .003). Among the patients with STAS, there was no significant difference in RFS between patients who underwent lobectomy (5-year RFS, 68.2%) and those who underwent segmentectomy (5-year RFS, 81.3%; P = .225). In a multivariable analysis using propensity score to adjust clinical patient characteristics, segmentectomy was not found to be an independent prognostic factor of RFS (hazard ratio 0.732, P = .326) among patients with STAS. Among the patients with STAS, only 1 patient (1%) with insufficient resection margin (0.5 mm) had local recurrence and 1 patient (1%) with invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma had recurrence in preserved lobe after segmentectomy. CONCLUSIONS Spread through air spaces was a poor prognostic factor in patients with clinical stage IA lung adenocarcinoma. Prognosis after segmentectomy was comparable with that of lobectomy in lung adenocarcinoma with STAS without increasing locoregional recurrence.

Abstract
Surgery is currently the most appropriate treatment for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Increasing unilateral or bilateral multiple primary lung cancer being found, segmentectomy has attracted wide attention for its unique advantages in the treatment for such tumors. Ground glass opacity dominant early-stage NSCLC is associated with a good prognosis and can be cured by segmentectomy, however, the treatment of solid-dominant NSCLC remains controversial owing to the invasive nature. With the in-depth study on the lymph node metastasis pathway, radiological characteristics and molecular biology of NSCLC, a large part of solid nodules with certain characteristics can also be cured by segmentectomy. This paper reviews the research status and progress about the indication of segmentectomy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Whether segmentectomy can be used to treat radiologically determined pure solid or solid-dominant lung cancer remains controversial owing to the invasive pathologic characteristics of these tumors despite their small size. This meta-analysis compared the oncologic outcomes after lobectomy and segmentectomy regarding relapse-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with radiologically determined pure solid or solid-dominant clinical stage IA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS A literature search was performed in the MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Central databases for information from the date of database inception to March 2019. Studies were selected according to predefined eligibility criteria. The hazard ratio (HR) and associated 95% confidence interval (CI) were extracted or calculated as the outcome measure for data combining. RESULTS Seven eligible studies published between 2014 and 2018 enrolling 1428 patients were included in the current meta-analysis. Compared with lobectomy, segmentectomy had a significant benefit on the RFS of radiologically determined pure solid or solid-dominant clinical stage IA NSCLC patients (combined HR: 1.46; 95% CI, 1.05-2.03; P = 0.024) and there were no significant differences on the OS of these patients (HR: 1.52; 95% CI, 0.95-2.43; P = 0.08). CONCLUSIONS Segmentectomy leads to lower survival than lobectomy for clinical stage IA NSCLC patients with radiologically determined pure solid or solid-dominant tumors. Moreover, applying lobectomy to clinical stage IA NSCLC patients with radiologically determined pure solid or solid-dominant tumors (≤2 cm) could lead to an even bigger survival advantage. However, there are some limitations in the present study, and more evidence is needed to support the conclusion.

Fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography evaluation in metastatic bone lesions in lung cancer: Possible prediction of pain and skeletal-related events. Thorac Cancer 2019; 10:980-987. [PMID: 30883012 PMCID: PMC6449251 DOI: 10.1111/1759-7714.13041] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2018] [Revised: 02/21/2019] [Accepted: 02/22/2019] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Fluorine‐18‐fluorodeoxyglucose‐positron emission tomography (FDG‐PET) uptake in primary lesions has been well studied, but little information is available about metastatic bone lesions in patients with lung cancer. The present study was performed to evaluate the relationships between metastatic bone FDG uptake and clinical parameters in patients with lung cancer. Methods FDG uptake was evaluated as the maximum standardized uptake (SUVmax) value of each targeted bone lesion, and the bone to primary lesion ratio of SUVmax (B/P ratio) was calculated. Forty‐nine patients (27 men and 22 women) with a diagnosis of lung cancer (small cell lung cancer [SCLC], n = 7; non‐small cell lung cancer [NSCLC], n = 42) with bone metastasis, and a total of 185 bone metastatic lesions were evaluated. Results The SUVmax in bone and the B/P ratio were significantly higher in patients with pain and subsequent development of skeletal‐related events than in those without pain or skeletal‐related events, respectively. In addition, the SUVmax in metastatic bone lesions and the B/P ratio in SCLC were significantly lower than those in NSCLC, despite similar FDG uptake in the primary tumor. Conclusion Our findings suggest that FDG‐PET evaluation in metastatic bone lesions could be useful to predict initial pain and subsequent clinical outcomes of local bone status in initially diagnosed lung cancer patients with bone metastasis. In addition, our results suggest that there could be histological differences in the biological activity of bone metastatic lesions in lung cancer, especially between SCLC and NSCLC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Positron emission tomography (PET) using 18F-fludeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) is an established imaging modality for tumor staging in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). There is a growing interest in using 18F-FDG PET for therapy response assessment in NSCLC which relies on quantitative PET parameters such as standardized uptake values (SUV). Different reconstruction algorithms in PET may affect SUV. We sought to determine the variation of SUV in patients with NSCLC when using ordered subset expectation maximization (OSEM) and block sequential regularized expectation maximization (BSREM) in latest-generation digital PET/CT, including a subanalysis for adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. METHODS: A total of 58 patients (34 = adenocarcinoma, 24 = squamous cell carcinoma) who underwent a clinically indicated 18F-FDG PET/CT for staging were reviewed. PET images were reconstructed with OSEM and BSREM reconstruction with noise penalty strength β-levels of 350, 450, 600, 800 and 1200. Lung tumors maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) were compared. RESULTS: Lung tumors SUVmax were significantly lower in adenocarcinomas compared to squamous cell carcinomas in all reconstructions evaluated (all p < 0.01). Comparing BSREM to OSEM, absolute SUVmax differences were highest in lower β-levels of BSREM with + 2.9 ± 1.6 in adenocarcinoma and + 4.0 ± 2.9 in squamous cell carcinoma (difference between histology; p-values > 0.05). There was a statistically significant difference of the relative increase of SUVmax in adenocarcinoma (mean + 34.8%) and squamous cell carcinoma (mean 23.4%), when using BSREM350 instead of OSEMTOF (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: In NSCLC the relative change of SUV when using BSREM instead of OSEM is significantly higher in adenocarcinoma as compared to squamous cell carcinoma. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: The impact of BSREM on SUV may vary in different histological subtypes of NSCLC. This highlights the importance for careful standardization of β-value used for serial 18F-FDG PET scans when following-up NSCLC patients.

Outcomes and predictive factors for pathological node-positive in radiographically pure-solid, small-sized lung adenocarcinoma. Gen Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 2019; 67:544-550. [PMID: 30627979 DOI: 10.1007/s11748-018-01059-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2018] [Accepted: 12/28/2018] [Indexed: 10/27/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The indication of limited resection for radiographically pure-solid, small-sized lung adenocarcinoma is controversial. This study aimed to reveal the long-term outcome of standard surgical treatment and determine the predictive factors for pathological lymph node metastasis in optimal candidates undergoing limited surgical resection for pure-solid, small-sized lung adenocarcinoma. METHODS The medical records of 107 consecutive patients were retrospectively reviewed at our hospital between December 2002 and December 2013. Inclusion criteria were histopathological diagnosis of lung adenocarcinoma, radiographically pure-solid tumor, ≤ 2 cm tumor size measured using thin-section computed tomography, clinical N0M0, patients who underwent lobectomy with systematic or lobe-specific lymph node dissection, and R0 resection. Overall and disease-free survival curves were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Clinicopathological factors predicting pathological node-positive metastasis were identified by univariate and multivariate analysis. RESULTS The 5-year overall and disease-free survival rates were 91.4% and 87.3%, respectively. Multivariate analysis demonstrated maximum standardized uptake value > 5 as the independent predictor of pathological node-positive metastasis (odds ratio 3.81; 95% confidence interval 1.25-12.3; p = 0.02). In all patients, the pathological node-positive rate was 16.7%; in patients who had a maximum standardized uptake value of ≤ 5, the rate was 7.9%. CONCLUSION The long-term outcome of standard surgical treatment was favorable. Maximum standardized uptake value was a significant predictor of pathological node-positive metastasis; however, diagnostic accuracy was not favorable. Therefore, the selection of optimal candidates is difficult, and limited surgical resection may not be applicable in pure-solid, small-sized lung adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Our aim was to assess the significance of metabolic positron emission tomography (PET) parameters for the prediction of occult mediastinal lymph node metastasis (OLM) and recurrence in patients with clinical-N0 nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after surgical resection and lymph node dissection. MATERIALS AND METHODS We evaluated 98 patients with NSCLC [52 adenocarcinoma (ADC), 46 squamous cell carcinoma (SQCC)] who had undergone initial/preoperative fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (F-FDG PET/CT). Eligibility criteria for participation were clinically staged as N0 and no FDG uptake in mediastinal lymph nodes on preoperative PET/CT. Clinicopathological characteristics and the diagnosis of recurrence were obtained by reviewing the hospital records. Metabolic parameters [maximum standardized uptake value, mean standardized uptake value, metabolic tumor volume (MTV), total lesion glycolysis] were determined on F-FDG PET/CT images. The association of metabolic parameters with OLM and recurrence was assessed. RESULTS OLM was found in 26 (26.53%) patients. T-stage, central location, and lymphovascular invasion were associated with OLM (respectively, P=0.007, 0.011, <0.001). None of the metabolic parameters was associated with OLM. Metabolic parameters of the tumor were significantly higher in patients with recurrence when the cohort was evaluated as a whole (P=0.002, 0.005, 0.016, and 0.004, respectively). In particular, there was a significant association between recurrence and tumor size, grade, stage, MTV (P<0.001), and TLG (P<0.001) in ADC. This association was not found in SQCC. Multivariate analysis showed that MTV was an independent prognostic factor for recurrence and associated with disease-free survival. CONCLUSION Metabolic parameters of the primary tumor on preoperative F-FDG PET/CT could not predict OLM in patients with clinical-N0 NSCLC. MTV was an independent risk factor for recurrence in ADC, but not in SQCC.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the predictability of occult lymph node metastasis using maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) in the primary tumor on pre-treatment 18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography FDG-PET in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients who were clinically node negative (cN0) before surgery. A retrospective analysis of all patients treated at the University Hospital Zurich from 2007 to 2016 for OSCC with available pre-therapeutic FDG-PET was performed. We assessed the correlation of SUVmax of the primary tumors with the presence of occult nodal disease in the neck dissection specimen (pN+). The study included a total of 71 patients. In the nodal negative group (cN0/pN0), the median SUVmax of primary tumors was 9.0 (interquartile range (IQR) 7.4–13.9), while it was 11.4 (IQR 9.9–15.7) in the occult metastatic group (cN0/pN+). The difference was statistically significant (independent samples median test, P = 0.037). In a multivariable model, the only independent predictor of occult metastatic disease for cN0 patients was a SUVmax ≥ 9.5 (P = 0.028). Further, primary tumors with SUVmax ≥ 9.5 had a significantly higher risk of local recurrence (Log rank test, P = 0.020). In conclusion, we showed that higher SUVmax (≥9.5) of the primary tumor is associated with higher occurrence of occult metastatic nodal disease and worse local survival. High SUVmax of the primary tumor may encourage clinicians towards more aggressive treatment.

Abstract
Through literature review we cannot find an efficient risk factor of lymph node metastasis in lung squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). This study aimed to investigate the risk factors of pathological lymph node status in patients with lung SCC of 3 cm or less in diameter, to provide some reference for the fellow surgeons in the decision of operative option.In total, we analyzed 154 patients with lung SCC of 3 cm or less in diameter who underwent lobectomy or bilobectomy or pneumonectomy with systematic lymph node dissection. The relationship between lymph node status and clinical characteristics were examined.Lymph node metastases were present in 48 patients (31.2%) of the study subjects. Multivariate analysis indicated that, age <60 years old (P = .007), tumor location of central-type (P = .003), tumor long axis >2 cm but ≤3 cm (P = .047) were associated with lymph node metastasis, and their odd ratios (OR) were 3.120, 3.359, and 5.196, respectively. Group analysis of the 74 peripheral lung SCC showed that those with the tumor long axis ≤2 cm had a lower rate of lymph node metastasis (7.9% vs 27.8%, P = .025).Age <60 years old, tumor location of central-type, and tumor long axis >2 cm but ≤3 cm are risk factors of lymph node metastasis in lung SCC. Systematic lymph node dissection or sampling is recommended when tumor central-type location and/or long axis >2 cm in lung SCC are present.

Abstract
Programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression is commonly observed in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The prognostic value of PD-L1 expression and the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) on 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18FDG-PET) in surgical pulmonary squamous cell carcinoma(SCC)remains unclear. Furthermore, the correlation between the SUVmax and PD-L1 expression has not been assessed. Thus, the purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between PD-L1 expression and the SUVmax on 18FDG-PET and to examine the prognostic significance of PD-L1 expression and the SUVmax in surgical pulmonary SCC. Expression of PD-L1 was examined in 84 patients with resected SCC using immunohistochemistry. Positive PD-L1 expression in tumour cells was observed in 58.3% (49/84) of patients with SCC. High PD-L1 expression levels were significantly correlated with histological differentiation (P=0.006), and a high SUVmax was associated with histological differentiation (P=0.037), and lymph node metastasis (P=0.025). Spearman's test showed that there was a significant correlation between PD-L1 expression levels and the SUVmax. High PD-L1 expression levels and a high SUVmax were both independent risks factors for poor overall survival. Our results suggested that high PD-L1 expression levels and a high SUVmax was associated with poor prognosis in surgical pulmonary SCC. The existence of a statistically significant correlation between the SUVmax and PD-L1 expression levels justifies exploring the usefulness of the SUVmax as a predictor of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor activity.

Abstract
Objective We aimed to identify patients with clinical Stage IA lung adenocarcinoma who are at high risk for distant recurrence to preoperatively organize treatment strategies. Methods We analyzed correlations between preoperative clinical factors and the incidence of distant recurrence in 609 patients with clinical Stage IA lung adenocarcinoma that had been completely resected at four institutions. We excluded 24 patients with only locoregional recurrence and analyzed data from 585 patients. Results Distant recurrence after complete resection was identified in 34 patients during a median follow-up period of 41.4 months. Multivariate Cox analysis identified solid tumor size on high-resolution computed tomography and the maximum standardized uptake value on F-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography as independent predictors for distant recurrence-free survival. Receiver operating characteristic analyses showed that solid tumor size ≥1.7 cm and the maximum standardized uptake value ≥3.3 were optimal criteria with which to detect patients at high risk for distant recurrence. In fact, 3-year distant recurrence rates were higher in patients who met the criteria for high risk (n = 85) than those who did not (n = 500) (28.1% vs. 3.7%; P < 0.001). A similar trend was also found in patients with pathological node negative. Conclusions Solid tumor size on high-resolution computed tomography and the maximum standardized uptake value on F-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography were clinical predictors of distant recurrence among patients with clinical Stage IA lung adenocarcinoma. Our findings might be useful to determine personalized therapeutic strategies including systemic therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Our study compared the prognosis of solid node-negative adenocarcinoma sized less than 20 mm with that of part-solid node-negative adenocarcinoma with an invasive tumor size of less than 20 mm. METHODS From 2003 to 2012, 191 patients were selected with a diagnosis of solid or part-solid pathologic node-negative adenocarcinoma with an invasive component sized less than 20 mm. The enrolled patients were categorized into two groups: group 1 had solid adenocarcinoma consisting only of the invasive component, and group 2 had part-solid adenocarcinoma consisting of both an in situ and an invasive component. Recurrence-free survival and overall survival at 5 years were compared using Kaplan- Meier survival analysis and the log-rank test. RESULTS The mean size of the invasive component was 15.9 mm in group 1 (n = 92) and 15.2 mm in group 2 (n = 99; p = 0.06), and the mean total lesion size was 15.9 mm in group 1 and 21.0 mm in group 2 (p < 0.001). The median follow-up duration was 54.2 months. The 5-year overall survival rates were 90.3% in group 1 and 93.8% in group 2 (p = 0.160), and the recurrence-free survival rates were 84.0% in group 1 and 93.7% in group 2 (p = 0.037). Lymphovascular invasion and high maximum standardized uptake values were significantly more common in group 1. CONCLUSIONS Although the total size of the part-solid adenocarcinoma lesions was larger than that of the solid adenocarcinoma lesions, the prognosis of part-solid adenocarcinoma was better than that of solid adenocarcinoma in cases of node-negative adenocarcinoma with invasive components sized less than 20 mm.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Mutations in the p53 gene are the most commonly observed genetic abnormalities in malignancies. The purpose of this study was to assess the diagnostic value of serum anti-p53 antibody (Ab) along with the correlation between serum anti-p53 Ab level and quantitative positron emission tomography (PET) parameters such as maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax), SUVave, metabolic tumor volume, total lesion glycolysis (TLG) and tumor size. METHODS Serum anti-p53 Ab level was studied in three groups. Patients who underwent 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/computed tomography (CT) imaging for staging of previously diagnosed lung cancer constituted the first group, while patients who underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging for evaluation of suspicious pulmonary nodules detected on thorax CT and did not show pathologic FDG accumulation (NAPN=pulmonary nodule with non avid-FDG) were enrolled in the second group. The third group consisted of healthy volunteers. RESULTS Twenty-eight patients with lung cancer (median age: 62.5, range: 39-77years), 28 patients with NAPN (median age: 65, range: 33-79 years), and 24 healthy volunteers (median age: 62, range: 44-74 years) were enrolled in the study. The serum anti-p53 Ab level was low in healthy volunteers while it was higher in both lung cancer patients and NAPN patients (p<0.05). When serum anti-p53 Ab level and PET parameters were evaluated, there was no significant correlation between serum anti-p53 Ab level and SUVmax, SUVave, TLG, tumor volume and tumor size of patients with lung cancer (p>0.05). Besides, there was no significant difference between serum anti-p53 Ab level and lesion size of NAPN patients (p>0.05). CONCLUSION It was determined that serum anti-p53 Ab levels are not significantly correlated with PET parameters, and that serum anti-p53 Ab levels increase in any benign or malignant lung parenchyma pathology as compared to healthy volunteers. These results indicate that this Ab cannot be used as a predictor of malignancy in a lung lesion.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Hypoxia is a key element involved in the development and progression of tumors. HIF-1α may transiently induce and mediate the response to acute and severe hypoxia, while HIF-2α may induce a longer response and may control the response to chronic and moderate hypoxia. Hypoxia increases the cellular uptake of FDG. Therefore, HIF may play an important role in the process of the cellular uptake of FDG. The aim of this study was to compare HIF-1α/HIF-2α expression with FDG uptake, Glut-1 expression, and prognosis in the patients with lung adenocarcinoma and to investigate the role of HIF-1α/HIF-2α in the uptake of FDG in lung adenocarcinoma. METHODS In the current work, we compared the immunohistochemical expression of HIF-1α and HIF-2α in surgical specimens of 44 patients with lung adenocarcinoma. The relationships between HIF-α expression and Glut-1 expression, FDG uptake, and clinicopathological factors, including prognosis, were analyzed. RESULTS There was a marginal association between HIF-1α and HIF-2α expressions (P = 0.076). We found a significant correlation between HIF-2α expression and FDG uptake (P = 0.0001). HIF-1α expression showed a marginal association with FDG uptake (P = 0.066). FDG uptake correlated more significantly with HIF-2α expression than with HIF-1α expression. A significant correlation was noticed between Glut-1 expression and both HIF-1α and HIF-2α expressions (P = 0.005 and P = 0.003, respectively). Univariate analysis of disease-free survival demonstrated that FDG uptake and HIF-2α expression, but not HIF-1α expression, were related to recurrence (P < 0.0001). CONCLUSION FDG uptake correlated more significantly with HIF-2α expression than with HIF-1α expression, and both FDG uptake and HIF-2α expression, but not HIF-1α expression was correlated with post-operative recurrence in the patients with lung adenocarcinoma. These results suggest that both FDG uptake and HIF-2α expression may represent a more aggressive phenotype and that HIF-2α may play a more important role than HIF-1α in the uptake of FDG in lung adenocarcinoma.

Prognostic Significance of Intratumoral Metabolic Heterogeneity on 18F-FDG PET/CT in Pathological N0 Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer. Clin Nucl Med 2016; 40:708-14.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of the study was to evaluate the prognostic significance of intratumoral metabolic heterogeneity on pretreatment F-FDG PET/CT in patients with lung cancer who were pathologically N0 (pN0) after curative surgical resection. METHODS We examined 119 patients (M/F = 79/40; mean age, 64.6 ± 9.0 years) who had undergone pretreatment F-FDG PET/CT and were diagnosed as pN0 after curative surgery for adenocarcinoma (ADC; n = 67) or squamous cell carcinoma (SQCC; n = 52). Heterogeneity factor (HF) and other metabolic parameters (SUVmax, metabolic tumor volume [MTV] and total lesion glycolysis [TLG]) for the primary lesions were measured, and the results were analyzed for recurrence. The HF, defined as the derivative of the volume-threshold function from 20% to 80%, was computed for primary lesions. Univariate and multivariate analyses for recurrence were performed using the Kaplan-Meier method and using the Cox proportional hazards model. RESULTS SUVmax, MTV, TLG, and HF were statistically different between patients with ADC and SQCC. Forty-one (34.5%) of 119 patients experienced recurrence (ADC, 25/67 = 37.3% vs. SQCC, 16/52 = 30.8%). Results of univariate analysis indicate that SUVmax, MTV, TLG, and HF in ADC and TLG and HF in SQCC were predictors for recurrence. After adjusting for sex, age, and histological grade in multivariate analysis, high SUVmax, MTV, TLG, and HF in ADC exhibited an association with increased risk of recurrence. CONCLUSIONS Metabolic parameters and heterogeneity of primary tumor on pretreatment F-FDG PET/CT can predict recurrence in pN0 NSCLC patients of ADC type who have undergone curative surgery but not in patients of SQCC type.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate whether the predictive values of intensity- and volume-based PET parameters are different between histological subtypes in patients with cervical cancer. Ninety patients, 65 with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and 25 with non-SCC (NSCC), who underwent pretreatment ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT and pelvic MRI, were studied retrospectively. In addition to SUVmax and SUVmean, metabolic-tumor-volume (MTV) was determined by thresholding of 40% SUVmax and total-lesion-glycolysis (TLG) was calculated. Clinical factors and PET metabolic indices were compared between SCC and NSCC. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method with cut-offs determined by ROC analyses to stratify SCC and NSCC patients separately. Factors associated with survival were assessed with univariate and multivariate analyses using the Cox regression model. No significant differences were observed in clinical factors other than tumor size or ¹⁸F-FDG PET metabolic indices between SCC and NSCC. The Kaplan-Meier estimates of 2-year PFS and OS rates were 60% and 70% for SCC and 40% and 76% for NSCC, respectively. Multivariate analyses showed that MTV and TLG were the independent prognostic factors for PFS and OS in SCC; in contrast, SUVmax was the independent prognostic factor for PFS and OS in NSCC. Metabolic burden (MTV and TLG) could be beneficial for the prognostic prediction of cervical SCC patients; in contrast, metabolic intensity (SUVmax) could be beneficial for the prognostic prediction of NSCC patients. The different prognostic implications might be based on the differences of tissue integrity and histological heterogeneity between SCC and NSCC.

Abstract
Background The identification of surgical non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with poor prognosis is a priority in clinical oncology because of their high 5-year mortality. This meta-analysis explored the prognostic value of maximal standardized uptake value (SUVmax), metabolic tumor volume (MTV) and total lesion glycolysis (TLG) on disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) in surgical NSCLC patients. Materials and Methods MEDLINE, EMBASE and Cochrane Libraries were systematically searched until August 1, 2015. Prospective or retrospective studies that evaluated the prognostic roles of preoperative 18F-FDG PET/CT with complete DFS and OS data in surgical NSCLC patients were included. The impact of SUVmax, MTV or TLG on survival was measured using hazard ratios (HR). Sub-group analyses were performed based on disease stage, pathological classification, surgery only and cut-off values. Results Thirty-six studies comprised of 5807 patients were included. The combined HRs for DFS were 2.74 (95%CI 2.33–3.24, unadjusted) and 2.43 (95%CI: 1.76–3.36, adjusted) for SUVmax, 2.27 (95%CI 1.77–2.90, unadjusted) and 2.49 (95%CI 1.23–5.04, adjusted) for MTV, and 2.46 (95%CI 1.91–3.17, unadjusted) and 2.97 (95%CI 1.68–5.28, adjusted) for TLG. The pooled HRs for OS were 2.54 (95%CI 1.86–3.49, unadjusted) and 1.52 (95%CI 1.16–2.00, adjusted) for SUVmax, 2.07 (95%CI 1.16–3.69, unadjusted) and 1.91 (95%CI 1.13–3.22, adjusted) for MTV, and 2.47 (95%CI 1.38–4.43, unadjusted) and 1.94 (95%CI 1.12–3.33, adjusted) for TLG. Begg’s test detected publication bias, the trim and fill procedure was performed, and similar HRs were obtained. The prognostic role of SUVmax, MTV and TLG remained similar in the sub-group analyses. Conclusions High values of SUVmax, MTV and TLG predicted a higher risk of recurrence or death in patients with surgical NSCLC. We suggest the use of FDG PET/CT to select patients who are at high risk of disease recurrence or death and may benefit from aggressive treatments.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE High maximum standardized uptake values on [(18)F]-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography are associated with inferior survival in non-small cell lung cancer. Here, we investigated the biological mechanisms underlying [(18)F]-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose uptake in non-small cell lung cancer. METHODS This study included 133 patients with non-small cell lung cancer (109 with adenocarcinoma and 24 with squamous cell carcinoma). The patients underwent tumour resection, at the latest, 4 weeks after [(18)F]-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography. The maximum standardized uptake values for primary lesions were calculated based on [(18)F]-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose uptake. The expression of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α and glucose transporter 1 was evaluated on immunostained tumour sections using six-point grading scales. RESULTS Maximum standardized uptake values and the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α and glucose transporter 1 were significantly higher in squamous cell carcinoma than in adenocarcinoma (P < 0.001, P = 0.034 and P < 0.001, respectively). In adenocarcinoma, but not squamous cell carcinoma, maximum standardized uptake values, hypoxia-inducible factor 1α and glucose transporter 1 correlated with various clinicopathological factors relating to malignancy, and maximum standardized uptake values and glucose transporter 1 were associated with disease-free survival (P < 0.001 and P = 0.029) and overall survival (P < 0.001 and P = 0.033, respectively). Patients with high expression of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α tended to exhibit shorter disease-free survival and overall survival than those with low expression, but the differences were not significant (P = 0.32 and P = 0.15, respectively). And then in adenocarcinoma, hypoxia-inducible factor 1α and glucose transporter 1, glucose transporter 1 and maximum standardized uptake values, and hypoxia-inducible factor 1α and maximum standardized uptake values were significantly correlated (P < 0.001 for all), suggesting that hypoxia-inducible factor 1α-induced glucose transporter 1 might influence maximum standardized uptake values on [(18)F]-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography. CONCLUSIONS In lung adenocarcinoma, but not squamous cell carcinoma, hypoxia-inducible factor 1α and glucose transporter 1 expressions indicate tumour aggressiveness pathologically and might explain high [(18)F]-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose uptake on positron emission tomography and correlate with poor prognosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) of FDG-PET/CT is commonly used as an indicator to evaluate the invasiveness and prognosis of non-small-cell lung cancers (NSCLC). We investigated the correlation between SUVmax and tumor invasiveness or postoperative recurrence of solid type NSCLC and compared squamous cell carcinoma (SCC)/adenosquamous carcinoma (ASC) to adenocarcinoma (AC). METHODS A retrospective review of preoperative PET/CT, thin-section CT, and postoperative pathological records obtained over a 5-year period was conducted. Solid type NSCLC tumors on thin-section CT with confirmed diagnosis from surgical resection (diameter ≤3 cm) were included. Multivariate logistic regression was used to evaluate the correlation between tumor characteristics and pathological prognostic factors or postoperative recurrence. RESULTS 150 patients (111 males, 39 females; mean age 67 years; 106 cases of AC, 36 cases of SCC, and 8 cases of ASC) were included. SUVmax was significantly correlated with pleural involvement (p = 0.047), lymphatic permeation (p = 0.003), lymph node metastasis (p = 0.027), and tumor invasiveness (p < 0.001). Receiver operating characteristic analysis indicated an optimal SUVmax threshold of 5.0 for tumor invasiveness. Histopathological type was significantly correlated with pleural involvement (p = 0.042), but not with other types of invasiveness. Twenty-nine patients experienced postoperative recurrence. SUVmax was significantly correlated with tumor recurrence (p = 0.004), but size and histopathological type were not (p = 0.502 and p = 0.351, respectively). CONCLUSION SUVmax of the primary lesion in solid type NSCLC was significantly correlated with tumor invasiveness and postoperative recurrence. No differences in tumor invasiveness were observed between solid type AC and SCC/ASC. However, in solid type AC, SUVmax of the primary lesion was more significantly correlated with recurrence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to determine whether the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) of the primary tumor on pretreatment (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography ((18)F-FDG PET) has prognostic significance in patients with adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the head and neck. METHODS A retrospective review was carried out on 34 patients with ACC of the head and neck who underwent pretreatment (18)F-FDG PET imaging from June 2005 through July 2009. All patients underwent surgery with curative intent, and 26 of them received adjuvant radiotherapy (RT). RESULTS When subjects were stratified into 2 groups according to a cutoff value for SUVmax of 4.15, the risk of distant metastasis was significantly high in patients with high SUVmax (p = .014). Multivariate analysis showed that high SUVmax and histologic grade 3 were independent poor prognostic factors for distant metastasis-free and disease-free survival. CONCLUSION Pretreatment SUVmax of the primary tumor is an independent prognostic factor in patients with ACC of the head and neck.

Abstract
Background The purpose of this study is to investigate whether 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) micro-positron emission tomography-computed tomography (microPET-CT) can be used to monitor a metabolic response to gefitinib in nude mouse tumor xenografts. Methods Sixteen nude mice were implanted with human A431 epidermoid carcinoma cells and ten with human A549 lung adenocarcinoma cells, and the tumors were allowed to grow to an approximate size of 150 mm3. Ten and five of these mice, respectively, received intragastric gefitinib (100 mg/kg) once daily for 14 days, whereas six and five, respectively, received sterile water. Tumor metabolic activity was assessed by 18 F-FDG microPET imaging before treatment (day 0) and on days 2, 7, and 14. Tumor uptake of 18 F-FDG was determined from a region-of-interest drawn around the tumor, and the maximum percentage injected dose per gram (%ID/gmax) was calculated. Tumor volume measured on day 14 by microCT was used to categorize tumors as sensitive, stable, or resistant to gefitinib, and pathologic changes in these tumors were analyzed. Results On day 2, the average changes in 18 F-FDG uptake by A431 tumors sensitive, stable, and resistant to gefitinib were −30.92% ± 6.66%, −5.68% ± 6.95%, and 7.72% ± 3.85%, respectively (P < 0.05 each), with no significant differences in the sizes of tumors sensitive and stable to gefitinib (P = 0.169). On day 7, sensitive tumors were significantly smaller than stable tumors (P = 0.034). On day 14, areas of necrosis were observed in gefitinib-sensitive tumors, with tumor necrosis ratios differing significantly among the sensitive, stable, and control groups (P < 0.05 each). In mice implanted with A549 cells, however, tumor 18 F-FDG uptake, volume, and percent necrosis did not differ significantly between gefitinib-treated and untreated mice on days 0, 2, 7, and 14 (P > 0.05 each). Conclusions F-FDG uptake is a sensitive method of detecting metabolic changes in tumors associated with therapy in vivo.

Difference in prognostic values of maximal standardized uptake value on fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography and cyclooxygenase-2 expression between lung adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. World J Surg Oncol 2014; 12:343. [PMID: 25392182 PMCID: PMC4254182 DOI: 10.1186/1477-7819-12-343] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2014] [Accepted: 10/29/2014] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The maximal standardized uptake value (SUVmax) on fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) for primary tumors is correlated with clinicopathological and prognostic factors in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. However, previous investigations have discussed the role of SUVmax without distinguishing among the histological subtypes of lung cancer. Herein, we investigated the correlations among the SUVmax on FDG-PET, clinicopathological or prognostic factors, and the expression of tumor angiogenic biomarkers according to histological subtypes. Methods We conducted a retrospective review of data from 52 patients with invasive adenocarcinoma (ADC) and 32 patients with squamous cell carcinoma (SQC) measuring less than 3 cm in diameter. Immunohistochemical staining for cyclooxygenase-2 (Cox-2), Ki-67, and vascular endothelial growth factor, which might influence cancer progression, was performed and the correlations between the expressions of these biomarkers and the SUVmax were evaluated. Results Among ADC patients, a statistically significant correlation was observed between the SUVmax and the major clinicopathological factors; among SQC patients, however, no statistically significant association was observed. The disease-free survival (DFS) period of the ADC patients with a high SUVmax was significantly poorer than that of the patients with a low SUVmax, but the DFS of the SQC patients with a high SUVmax was not significantly poorer. In a multivariate analysis, the pathological stage and the SUVmax were independent prognostic factors of the DFS among the ADC patients. Among the SQC patients, however, only Cox-2 expression was an independent prognostic factor of DFS. Conclusions Some clear differences in prognostic values of the SUVmax on FDG-PET and Cox-2 expression exist between patients with ADC and those with SQC. Based on these relationships between the SUVmax and clinicopathological or biological factors that influence cancer progression, the importance of the SUVmax appears to be quite different for patients with ADC and those with SQC.

Metabolic parameters using ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT correlate with occult lymph node metastasis in squamous cell lung carcinoma. Eur J Nucl Med Mol Imaging 2014; 41:2051-7.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to investigate predictability of occult lymph node metastasis (OLM) using metabolic parameters on pretreatment (18)F-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/CT in squamous cell non-small cell lung carcinoma (SC-NSCLC) patients who were clinically node negative (cN0) before surgery. METHODS A total of 63 cN0 SC-NSCLC patients (M/F = 61/2, mean age 64.1 ± 8.0) who underwent curative surgery with lymph node dissection were enrolled in this study. Metabolic tumor volume (MTV) of the primary tumor was obtained with a standardized uptake value (SUV) threshold of 2.5. Total lesion glycolysis (TLG) was calculated by multiplication of the MTV and its SUVmean. Metabolic parameters (SUVmax, MTV, and TLG) and clinicopathological factors were analyzed for OLM. RESULTS Of 63 patients, 12 (19.0 %) had OLM. Significantly higher SUVmax, MTV, TLG, and pathological tumor size were observed in patients with OLM. The optimal cutoff values for prediction of OLM determined using a receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve were 8.8 for SUVmax, 18.9 cm(3) for MTV, 88.4 for TLG, and 2.8 cm for pathological tumor size. Univariate analysis showed correlation of SUVmax, MTV, and TLG with the rate of OLM. In multivariate analyses, high SUVmax and MTV showed an association with an increased risk of OLM, after adjusting for age, sex, pathological tumor size, T stage, and location. CONCLUSION Metabolic parameters on pretreatment (18)F-FDG PET/CT were significant predictors for OLM in cN0 SC-NSCLC patients. Surgical planning can be tailored based on the parameters in order to reduce the risk of hidden residual lymph node metastases in patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the increasing prevalence of the early discovery of small-sized non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs), particularly adenocarcinoma, sublobar resection has not yet gained acceptance for patients who can tolerate lobectomy. METHODS We compared the outcomes of segmentectomy (n=155) and lobectomy (n=479) in 634 consecutive patients with clinical stage IA lung adenocarcinoma and in propensity score-matched pairs. Those who had undergone wedge resection were excluded. RESULTS The 30-day postoperative mortality rate in this population was zero. Patients with large or right-sided tumors, high maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax), pathologically invasive tumors (with lymphatic, vascular, or pleural invasion), and lymph node metastasis underwent lobectomy significantly more often. Three-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) was significantly higher after segmentectomy compared to lobectomy (92.7% vs. 86.9%, P=0.0394), whereas three-year overall survival (OS) did not significantly differ (95.7% vs. 94.1%, P=0.162). Multivariate analyses of RFS and OS revealed age and SUVmax as significant independent prognostic factors, whereas gender, tumor size and procedure (segmentectomy vs. lobectomy) were not. In 100 propensity score-matched pairs with variables adjusted for age, gender, tumor size, SUVmax, tumor location, the three-year RFS (90.2% vs. 91.5%) and OS (94.8% vs. 93.3%) after segmentectomy and lobectomy respectively were comparable. CONCLUSIONS Segmentectomy with reference to SUVmax should be considered as an alternative for clinical stage IA adenocarcinoma, even for low-risk patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to compare prognosis after segmentectomy and after lobectomy for radiologically determined solid-dominant clinical stage IA lung adenocarcinoma. METHODS From a multicentre database of 610 consecutive patients with clinical stage IA lung adenocarcinoma who underwent complete resection after preoperative high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) and F-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT), 327 patients with a radiologically determined solid-dominant tumour (solid component on HRCT ≥50%) who underwent lobectomy (n = 286) or segmentectomy (n = 41) were included. RESULTS No significant difference existed in recurrence-free survival (RFS) between the lobectomy and segmentectomy groups (3-year RFS, 84.4 vs 84.8%, respectively; P = 0.69). There was no significant difference in recurrence pattern between these two groups (local, 5.6 vs 7.3%, P = 0.72; distant, 9.1 vs 4.9%, P = 0.55, respectively). Even in patients with pure solid tumours, no significant difference was observed in RFS between lobectomy and segmentectomy groups (3-year RFS, 76.8 vs 84.7%, respectively; P = 0.48), as well as in those with a mixed ground-glass opacity tumour (3-year RFS, 91.0 vs 85.0%, respectively; P = 0.60). Multivariate Cox analysis demonstrated that solid tumour size on HRCT (P = 0.048) and maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) on FDG-PET/CT (P < 0.001), not the surgical procedure (P = 0.40), were independent prognostic factors for RFS. CONCLUSIONS RFS depends on solid tumour size on HRCT and SUVmax on FDG-PET/CT, rather than on the surgical procedure, in patients with radiologically detected solid-dominant clinical stage IA lung adenocarcinoma. Patient prognosis is similar after lobectomy and after segmentectomy for solid-dominant tumour.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate risk factors for recurrence in patients with lung adenocarcinoma (LAD) who were pathologically N0 (pN0) after curative surgical resection. METHODS A total of 102 LAD patients (M/F = 55/47, mean age, 62.6 ± 9.4 years) diagnosed as pN0 after curative surgery were included in this study. Clinical, biochemical, radiologic, and pathologic findings were reviewed and analyzed for recurrence. Metabolic parameters [SUVmax, metabolic tumor volume (MTV), total lesion glycolysis (TLG)] on pretreatment F-18 FDG PET/CT were also obtained and analyzed for recurrence. RESULTS Of 102 patients, 38 (37.3%) were found to experience recurrence for 33.6 ± 16.3 months. SUVmax, MTV, and TLG were significantly higher in patients with recurrence. The optimal cutoff values determined using a receiver-operating characteristic curve were 6.90 for SUVmax, 10.78 cm(3) for MTV, and 39.68 for TLG. Univariate analysis showed that tumor size, tumor marker, SUVmax, MTV, and TLG were prognostic factors for recurrence. In multivariate analyses, after adjusting for age, sex, tumor size, pathologic T stage, and tumor marker, high SUVmax, MTV, and TLG showed an association with an increased risk of recurrence. CONCLUSIONS Metabolic parameters on pretreatment F-18 FDG PET/CT can predict recurrence in pN0 LAD patients who underwent curative surgery. Therefore, patients with high metabolic parameters on PET can be considered as candidates for adjuvant therapy to reduce recurrence and should be monitored carefully for early detection of possible recurrence.

Role of maximum standardized uptake value in fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography predicts malignancy grade and prognosis of operable breast cancer: a multi-institute study. Breast Cancer Res Treat 2013; 141:269-75.

Abstract
The malignant biological behavior of breast cancer remains obscure on diagnostic images, although understanding the grade of such malignancy is important for selecting appropriate treatment. Therefore, malignancy grades in operable breast cancer were evaluated using positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in a multicenter setting. We prospectively examined the features and prognosis of 344 patients (mean age ± SD: 58.0 ± 12.5 years) with clinical stages I–III breast cancer, who underwent surgical intervention without induction therapy between January 2006 and December 2011. Maximum standardized uptake values (maxSUV) obtained from whole-body fluorodeoxyglucose-PET/CT immediately before surgery were assessed to predict the malignant aggressiveness of tumors including the recurrence-free survival of the patients. Variations in maxSUV among institutions, which are limitations of PET assessments in multicenter studies, were adjusted using a phantom study. The median follow up period was 52 months. The patients were divided into groups according to cut-off maxSUV (≤3.0 vs. >3.0) values established from receiver operating characteristic analysis of recurrence (area under the curve = 0.713). A higher maxSUV was significantly associated with a higher T-factor (p < 0.0001), N-factor (p = 0.0049), nuclear grade (p < 0.0001), negative for estrogen (p = 0.0309), and progesterone receptors (p = 0.0063), positive for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (p = 0.0012), lymph node metastasis (p = 0.0128), and vascular invasion (p = 0.0110). Multivariate analysis using Cox proportional hazard regression model revealed high maxSUV and negative estrogen receptor status as significantly prognostic factors (p = 0.033 and p = 0.004, respectively). This study demonstrated that maxSUV on PET/CT as well as estrogen receptor status is useful to predict malignancy grades and the prognosis of patients with breast cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the significance of (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) for speculating the malignant level and prognostic value of operable breast cancers. METHODS Of 578 consecutive patients with primary invasive breast cancer who underwent curative surgery between 2005 and 2010, 311 patients (53.8%) who received FDG-PET/CT before initial therapy were examined. RESULTS Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve analysis showed the cutoff value of the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) to predict cancer recurrence was 3.8 in all patients and 8.6 in patients with the triple-negative subtype, respectively. In all patients, 3-year DFS rates were 98.8% for patients with a tumor of SUVmax ≤ 3.8 and 91.6% for patients with a tumor of SUVmax > 3.8 (p < 0.001). High value of SUVmax was significantly associated with large tumor size (p < 0.001), lymph node metastasis (p = 0.040), high nuclear grade (p < 0.001), lymphovascular invasion (p = 0.032), negative hormone receptor status (p < 0.001), and positive HER2 status (p = 0.014). Based on the results of multivariate Cox analysis in all patients, high SUVmax (p = 0.001) and negative hormone receptor status (p = 0.005) were significantly associated with poor prognosis. In patients with triple-negative subtype, 3-year DFS rates were 90.9% for patients with a tumor of SUVmax ≤ 8.6 and 42.9% for patients with a tumor of SUVmax > 8.6 (p = 0.002), and high SUVmax was the only significant independent prognostic factor (p = 0.047). CONCLUSION FDG-PET/CT is useful for predicting malignant behavior and prognosis in patients with operable breast cancer, especially the triple-negative subtype.
