Preoperative 18F-FDG SUVmax >6.3 or Size >2.3 cm of primary lesions predict lymph nodes metastasis with higher negative predictive value in peripheral cT1 non-small-cell lung cancer

Conclusions The excellent sensitivity and NPV of preoperative of the SUVmax>6.3 or size>2.3 cm of the primary lesions based on 18F-FDG PET-CT might identify the patients at low-risk LNM in peripheral cT1 NSCLC.
