Abstract: Lung cancer is one of the important causes of human death among the malignant tumors, in which non-small cell lung cancer accounts for about 85％. The treatment of lung cancer is complex. How to predict the prognosis of lung cancer is very important to choose better therapy methods. The traditional prognostic evaluation methods have some disadvantages. With the development of new technology, 18F-FDG PET/CT is applied to stage and re-stage, evaluate therapy effect and predict the prognosis of lung cancer. In this review, the prognosis effect of non-small cell lung cancer via 18F-FDG PET/CT will be discussed.
