Correlations between dual-phase 18F-FDG uptake and clinicopathologic and biological markers of breast cancer.

CONCLUSION: Glucose transporter-1, estrogen receptor alpha negativity and nuclear grade might affect the high 18F-FDG uptake in breast cancer. The SUVmax might be more useful than the RI for predicting the Glut-1 expression and the aggressiveness of breast cancer. PMID: 29550845 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
