Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the predictive value of tumor metabolic indexes measured by 18F-FDG PET/CT in recurrence of stage Ⅰ NSCLC after surgery.Methods A total of 85 patients (44 males,41 females,age (62.46± 10.38) years) in Shanghai Renji Hospital with stage Ⅰ NSCLC,who underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT and subsequent surgical resection,were retrospectively enrolled from April 2006 to December 2011.Gender,age,tumor size,pathology,SUVmax,MTV and TLG of the primary tumor were selected as variables.ROC curve analysis was used to analyze the cut off value.The prognostic significance of parameters for recurrence-free survival (RFS) was evaluated by univariate and multivariate analyses.Survival analysis was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier method.Results During follow-up period,tumor recurrence occurred in 21 patients (24.7％,21/85) and 11 patients (12.9％,11/85) died.The median follow-up period was 44 months.The median values of SUVmax,MTV and TLG were 4.100,3.048 cm3 and 7.970,respectively.Cut off values of SUVmax,MTV and TLG were 7.115,4.701 cm3 and 12.015 according to ROC curve analysis.Univariate Cox analysis showed that SUVmax(x2 =22.091),MTV (x2 =4.941) and TLG(x2 =10.488) were associated with RFS(all P＜0.05).But gender,age,tumor size,and pathology were not independent risk factors of recurrence (x2=0.248-3.888,all P＞0.05).Multivariate Cox analysis revealed that SUVmax(=16.902,HR=15.426,P＜0.05) and TLG (x2=6.029,HR=4.054,P＜0.05) were independent prognostic factors for recurrence.Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the period of RFS in high SUVmax (＞ 7.115) group (x2=32.545,P＜0.05) and in high TLG (＞12.015) group (x2=12.665,P＜0.05) were lower than those in low SUVmax group and low TLG group.Conclusion The SUVmax and TLG measured by 18F-FDG PET/CT have significant value for predicting the recurrence of stage Ⅰ NSCLC.
