چکیده

UNLABELLED We investigated the relevance of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) gene to the uptake of (18)F-FDG and tumor aggressiveness in breast cancer. METHODS In 52 individuals with breast cancer, a diagnostic PET/CT scan was obtained, and the standardized uptake value was determined as a measure of (18)F-FDG uptake using a region-of-interest technique. Three GLUT1 SNPs (XbaI G>T, HpyCH4V A>T, and HaeIII T>C) were investigated in genomic DNA that was isolated from the paraffin-embedded specimens of all patients. Tumors were typed and graded according to the World Health Organization classifications. RESULTS The GG genotype of the XbaI G>T SNP was associated with increased tumor uptake of (18)F-FDG, with a mean standardized uptake value of 11.7 (TT/GT genotypes, 5.9; P = 0.03). Furthermore, the GG genotype was positively related to enhanced tumor proliferation (mitotic count, P = 0.01). In line with this finding, the GG genotype was absent in grade 1 carcinomas and increasingly prevalent in tumors with higher malignancy (grade 2, 28.0%; grade 3, 50%; P = 0.04). CONCLUSION This study found that the XbaI G>T SNP of the GLUT1 gene is associated with an increased (18)F-FDG uptake and a more advanced tumor grade or growth in breast cancer. Thus, this genetic variant might favor aggressive phenotypes by modulating the efficiency of cancer cells to recruit glucose and escalate growth rate, suggesting the XbaI G>T SNP as a proliferation-related prognostic factor.

Dual-time-point FDG-PET/CT Imaging of Temporal Bone Chondroblastoma: A Report of Two Cases

Temporal bone chondroblastoma is an extremely rare benign bone tumor. We encountered two cases showing similar imaging findings on computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and dual-time-point 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/CT. In both cases, CT images revealed temporal bone defects and sclerotic changes around the tumor. Most parts of the ...

Quo Vadis: PET and Single-Photon Molecular Breast Imaging.

My interest in imaging breast cancer with PET began in the late 1980s with my, and many others’, gradual recognition that the radiotracer 18F-FDG, originally designed for brain imaging, was actually a promising visceral tumor imaging agent (1–3). The early contributions of the late Ludwig Strauss to colorectal cancer imaging with PETwere quite informative at that time (4). Although at that stag...

18F-FDG PET/CT of advanced gastric carcinoma and association of HER2 expression with standardized uptake value

Objective(s): Expression of HER2 in gastric carcinoma has direct prognostic and therapeutic implications in patient management. The aim of this study is to determine whether a relationship exists between standardized uptake value (SUV) and expression of HER2 in advanced gastric carcinoma. Methods: We analyzed the 18F-FDG PET/CT results of 109 patients that underwent gastrectomy for advanced gas...

Predictive ability of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography for pathological complete response and prognosis after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in triple-negative breast cancer patients

Objective The mortality of patients with locally advanced triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is high, and pathological complete response (pCR) to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is associated with improved prognosis. This retrospective study was designed and powered to investigate the ability of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) to predict pat...
