Prognostic value of lymph node-to-primary tumor standardized uptake value ratio in endometrioid endometrial carcinoma

Purpose To determine whether the relative metabolic activity of pelvic or para-aortic LN compared with that of primary tumor measured by preoperative [ 18 F]FDG PET/CT scan has prognostic value in patients with endometrioid endometrial carcinoma. Methods We retrospectively reviewed patients with end...

Zusammenfassung:Purpose To determine whether the relative metabolic activity of pelvic or para-aortic LN compared with that of primary tumor measured by preoperative [ 18 F]FDG PET/CT scan has prognostic value in patients with endometrioid endometrial carcinoma. Methods We retrospectively reviewed patients with endometrioid endometrial carcinoma who underwent preoperative [ 18 F]FDG PET/CT scans. Prognostic values of PET/CT-derived metabolic variables such as maximum standardized uptake value (SUV) of the primary endometrial carcinoma (SUV Tumor ) and LN (SUV LN ), and the LN-to-endometrial carcinoma SUV ratio (SUV LN / SUV Tumor ) were assessed. Results Clinico-pathological data, imaging data, and treatment results were reviewed for 107 eligible patients. Median post-surgical follow-up was 23 months (range, 6–60), and 7 (6.5%) patients experienced recurrence. Regression analysis showed that SUV LN / SUV Tumor ( P
