Correlation of the standardized uptake value in FDG-PET with the expression level of cell-cycle-related molecular biomarkers in resected non-small cell lung cancers

The aim of this study was to clarify the relationship between the maximum standardized uptake value (maxSUV) and the expression levels of cell-cycle-related molecular biomarkers. Thirty consecutive patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) were enrolled in the study. Histologically, the tumor...

Zusammenfassung:The aim of this study was to clarify the relationship between the maximum standardized uptake value (maxSUV) and the expression levels of cell-cycle-related molecular biomarkers. Thirty consecutive patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) were enrolled in the study. Histologically, the tumors included 23 adenocarcinomas and 7 squamous cell carcinomas. Protein expressions of Ki-67, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), and p53 were examined by immunohistochemistry. The maxSUV was higher in poorly differentiated NSCLCs than in well-differentiated and moderately differentiated tumors (p
