Application of 18F-FDG PET/CT to adjuvant chemotherapy forearly stage(IB-IIA) lung adenocarcinoma

Conclusions: Preoperative SUVmax determined from FDG-PET/CT images reflected the effect of adjuvant chemotherapy after complete resection in patients with pathologic stage T2abN0M0 lung adenocarcinoma. Indications for postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy among patients with lung adenocarcinoma might be more precisely determined using preoperative SUVmax derived from FDG PET/CT images together. Key words: lung adenocarcinoma, PET/CT, maximum standardized uptake value, post-adjuvant chemotherapy, tumor-free survival, overall survival
