Correlation study on 18F-FDG PET/CT metabolic characteristics of primary lesion with clinical stage in lung cancer.

CONCLUSIONS: Histopathologic subtypes have a significant influence on the relationships between MTV/TLG not SUVmax of primary foci and stage in lung cancer. Primary MTV/TLG is related to clinical stage closely in AC, and a higher MTV/TLG results in a higher risk of distant metastasis. PMID: 30916535 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
