Evaluation of the factors affecting the maximum standardized uptake value of metastatic lymph nodes in different histological types of non-small cell lung cancer on PET-CT

To evaluate the factors affecting the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) of metastatic lymph nodes in different histological types of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) on integrated positron emission tomography and computed tomography (PET-CT). This was a retrospective, single-institution r...

Zusammenfassung:To evaluate the factors affecting the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) of metastatic lymph nodes in different histological types of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) on integrated positron emission tomography and computed tomography (PET-CT). This was a retrospective, single-institution review of 122 patients with pathologically proven NSCLC who had PET-CT scanning at the same center. Lymph node metastases were pathologically confirmed in tissue specimens from surgical patients. Statistical evaluation of PET-CT results was performed on a per-nodal-station basis. The tumor SUVmax of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) (11.0 ± 4.1) was higher than that of adenocarcinoma (AC) (7.4 ± 4.4) (P
