    • Abstract

    Background:
    This multicenter study aimed to investigate the relationship of standardized uptake value (SUV) on [18F]-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) and the clinicopathological characteristics of lung adenocarcinomas, and if it can be a predictor of prognosis of those patients.
    
    Methods:
    A total of 870 patients of adenocarcinoma patients received FDG-PET preoperatively and underwent curative resection with systematic lymph node dissection. The relationship among histological characteristics, pathological staging, prognosis, and SUV on FDG-PETmax was retrospectively examined.
    
    Results:
    The pathological stages of the cases were IA 526, IB 182, IIA 62, IIB 27, IIIA 67, IIIB 1, and IV 5, respectively. Pathological N1 (n = 60) and N2 (n = 58) cases showed a significantly higher SUVmax than N0 (n = 752) (9.15 ± 7.13 and 8.58 ± 6.14 vs 3.23 ± 4.16). Cases with pathological tumor invasiveness such as lymphatic, vascular or pleural infiltration showed a significantly higher SUVmax than cases with no invasiveness. (Ly negative; n=687, 2.76±3.59 vs Ly positive; n=183, 7.67±6.23, and v0; n=641, 2.18±2.58 vs v1 or 2; n=229, 8.30±6.23. p<0.001, respectively) The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve for SUVmax used to predict the relapse-free survival was 2.9 (p < 0.001) in adenocarcinoma. The 3-year relapse-free survival was 97%/66% (SUVmax lower/ higher than 2.9) in adenocarcinoma. SUVmax was parallel to the aggressive nature based on histological subtypes (AIS +MIA; n=76, 0.51±0.58, Lepidic + Papillary + Acinar; n=686, 3.52±4.12, and Solid + Micropapillary; n=84, 8.52±6.67), which was statistically significant. (p<0.001 respectively)
    
    Conclusion:
    SUVmax of the primary tumor reflected the biological malignancy of lung adenocarcinomas. SUVmax is also useful for predicting pathological stage and prognosis. Multimodality treatment might be recommended in cases of high UVmax.
