The prognostic value of volume-based parameters using 18 F-FDG PET/CT in gastric cancer according to HER2 status

ConclusionsHER2-positive gastric cancers had higher SUVmax compared to HER2-negative gastric cancers. In both HER2-negative patients and -positive patients receiving trastuzumab, FDG PET/CT volume-based parameters may have a role in further stratifying the prognosis of stage IV gastric cancer.
