Prognostic value of metabolic tumor volume and total lesion glycolysis assessed by 18F-FDG PET/CT in endometrial cancer
Conclusion
Metabolic tumor volume and total lesion glycolysis may be used as prognostic factors for endometrial cancer. The association between SUVmax and clinical findings, disease-free survival, histopathological features are weak. Further studies are needed for demonstrating the prognostic value of metabolic volumetric parameters.
