Prognostic value of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose-uptake in locally advanced soft tissue sarcomas treated with regional chemotherapy
Background: Evaluating the potential role of standardized uptake value (SUV) in patients with locally advanced, non-metastased, high-grade, extremity soft tissue sarcoma. Methods: Thirteen patients scheduled for hyperthermic isolated limb perfusion (ILP), referred for a 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) Positron Emission Tomography (PET)-scan were eligible. The SUV in the sarcoma lesion was calculat...
متن کاملUtility of 123I-MIBG Standardized Uptake Value in Patients with Refractory Pheochromocytoma and Paraganglioma
Objective(s): Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) using metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) is an important diagnostic tool for the treatment of refractory pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PPGL). Owing to the difficulty of SPECT quantification, the tumour-to-background ratio (TBR) is used to assess disease activity. However, the utility of TBR is limited o...
متن کاملRepeatability of Standardized Uptake Value in Oncologic 18F-FDG PET
Quantitative analysis can potentially improve the accuracy and consistency of 2-18F-fluoro-2deoxy-D-glucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET), particularly for the assessment of tumor response to treatment. Although not without limitations, standardized uptake value (SUV) has emerged as the predominant metric for tumor quantification with 18F-FDG PET. Growing literature suggests that...
متن کاملPrognostic Significance of Standardized Uptake Value on 18Fluorine-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography in Patients with Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma
The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic significance of standardized uptake value (SUV) on 18 fluorine-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Thirty-four patients who have histologically proven NPC and underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT were included in this study. After 18F-FDG PET/CT, all th...
متن کاملPrognostic value of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose PET parameters and inflammation in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
The aim of the present study was to investigate the association between positron emission tomography (PET) parameters and peripheral inflammatory markers, and assess their prognostic value in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). A total of 121 patients with non-disseminated NPC were recruited. Pretreatment maximum standardized uptake values (SUVmax) of PET and peripheral inflammatory factors (leukoc...
