Abstract:
[Objective]To investigate the prognostic value of 18F-FDG PET/CT with different metabolic parameters in newly diagnosed limited-disease(LD)small cell lung cancer(SCLC).[Methods]Retrospective analysis was carried out in the patients between June 2005 to December 2016 in our hospital confirmed of LD SCLC by pathology or cytology and comprehensive imaging. Fifty-four patients were recruited. Record the general characteristics of patients,pre-treatment KPS score,smoking status,weight loss,serum LDH,NSE,OS,PFS. All lesions(primary lesions + metastases)were sketched out within one VOI,and the SUVmax, SUVmean and SUVpeak in the VOI were automatically measured and recorded. The automatic measurement was performed by the fixed threshold method. The thresholds of tumor of MTV and TLG were 40% and 50% of SUVmax. The TLG and MTV were identified as TLG40%,TLG50%,MTV40% and MTV50% respectively. Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis. All the prognostic factors were analyzed by Cox model.[Result]The median SUVmax was 13.92(2.61~43.28),the median of SUVmean was 8.31(1.71~26.85) and the median of SUVpeak was 10.51(1.49 ~ 27.48). The median of TLG40% was 340.22(16.58 ~ 2827.26),the median of TLG50%was 215.645(1.70 ~ 2270.36),the median of MTV40% was 36.71(1.15 ~ 259.47 cm3),the median of MTV50% was 19.65(0.93 ~1900.00)cm3. Univariate and multivariate analysis of metabolic index and prognosis showed that TLG50% was the prognostic factor of OS(P = 0.013),but not of PFS(P > 0.05). The SUVmax,SUVmean and SUVpeak were not the prognostic factors of OS and PFS(P >0.05).[Conclusion]The volume metabolic parameters TLG50%was the independent prognostic factor of the overall survival time of the LD SCLC. The volume metabolic parameters (TLG and MTV) of 18F-FDG PET/CT were related to the prognosis of SCLC ,which could provide the basis for individual chemotherapy.
