Abstract
- Background To evaluate the clinicopathological and prognostic significance of the percentage change between maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) at 60 min (SUVmax1) and SUVmax at 120 min (SUVmax2) (ΔSUVmax%) using dual time point 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) in breast cancer. Methods Four hundred and sixty-four patients with primary breast cancer underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT for preoperative staging. ΔSUVmax% was defined as (SUVmax2 − SUVmax1) / SUVmax1 × 100. We explored the optimal cutoff value of SUVmax parameters (SUVmax1 and ΔSUVmax%) referring to the event of relapse by using receiver operator characteristic curves. The clinicopathological and prognostic significances of the SUVmax1 and ΔSUVmax% were analyzed by Cox’s univariate and multivariate analyses. Results The optimal cutoff values of SUVmax1 and ΔSUVmax% were 3.4 and 12.5, respectively. Relapse-free survival (RFS) curves were significantly different between high and low SUVmax1 groups (P = 0.0003) and also between high and low ΔSUVmax% groups (P = 0.0151). In Cox multivariate analysis for RFS, SUVmax1 was an independent prognostic factor (P = 0.0267) but ΔSUVmax% was not (P = 0.152). There was a weak correlation between SUVmax1 and ΔSUVmax% (P
