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.

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

), and the LN-to-endometrial carcinoma SUV ratio (SUV

/ SUV

) 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
