Prognostic value of maximum standard uptake value, metabolic tumor volume, and total lesion glycolysis of 18F-FDG PET/CT in patients with renal carcinoma: A protocol for systematic review and meta analysis.

ABSTRACT: PURPOSE:We present a comprehensive systematic review of the documented literature on parameters derived from F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (F-FDG PET) and meta-analysis of the prognostic value of maximal standard uptake value (SUVmax), metabolic tumor volume (MTV) and total lesional glycolysis (TLG) in patients with renal carcinoma (RCC). PATIENTS AND METHODS:Relevant articles in English from PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library were retrieved. Pooled hazard ratio (HR) values were used to assess the prognostic value of SUVmax, MTV, and TLG. RESULTS:A total of 10 primary studies involving 780 patients with RCC were included. The combined HRs for event-free survival were 1.32 (95% CI 1.10-1.58) for SUVmax, 2.40 (95% CI 1.20-4.79) for MTV, and 3.31 (95% CI 1.68-6.50) for TLG. Pooled HRs for overall survival were 1.264 (95% CI 1.124-1.421) for SUVmax, 3.52 (95% CI 1.451-8.536) for MTV, and 6.33 (95% CI 1.32-30.30) for TLG. Subgroup analysis revealed SUVmax as an independent risk factor for patients with recurrence or metastasis. CONCLUSION:The present meta-analysis confirmed that despite the clinical heterogeneity of RCC and adoption of various methods between studies, high SUVmax is a significant prognostic factor, especially in patients with recurrence or metastasis. MTV and TLG were associated with prediction of higher risk of adverse events or death in patients with RCC.

Project description:BackgroundThis study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of pretreatment 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) in patients with localized primary gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) and to compare the predictive values of 18F-FDG PET/CT parameters with those of clinicopathological prognostic factors.MethodsSixty-two localized GIST patients who underwent staging with 18F-FDG PET/CT from January 2007 to December 2013 before surgery were retrospectively enrolled. A volume of interest with a standardized uptake value (SUV) threshold of 2.5 was used to determine the metabolic tumor volume (MTV) and total lesion glycolysis (TLG). These metabolic indices, along with the maximum SUV (SUVmax), were analyzed to evaluate recurrence-free survival (RFS). Other significant clinical and pathologic indices were also retrospectively reviewed for RFS analysis.ResultsPatients were followed up for a median of 42.0 months (range, 5.6-111.5). During the follow-up period, 13 patients (21.0%) experienced disease recurrence. In univariate analysis, tumor size (> 5 cm), mitotic count (> 5/high-power field), modified National Institutes of Health (NIH) consensus criteria, adjuvant imatinib treatment, SUVmax (≥ 7.04), MTV (≥ 50.76 cm3), and TLG (≥ 228.79 g) were significant prognostic factors affecting RFS (p < 0.05). In multivariate analysis, only MTV (hazard ratio, 17.69; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.03-154.17, p = 0.009) and TLG (hazard ratio, 20.48; 95% CI, 2.19-191.16, p = 0.008) were independent prognostic factors for RFS. The 5-year RFS rates were 96.4% and 96.6% in patients with a low MTV and TLG and 27.3% and 23.6% in patients with a high MTV and TLG, respectively (p < 0.001).ConclusionMTV and TLG are independent prognostic factors for predicting recurrence in patients with localized primary GIST. Patients with a high MTV or TLG are at risk for poor prognosis and should be closely observed for disease recurrence.

Project description:ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to assess the clinical significance of increased fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (F-FDG) uptake on PET/CT in joints for evaluation of symptomatic osteoarthritis (OA) and prediction of progression.Patients and methodsIn this prospective study, shoulder, hip, and knee joints were imaged in 65 patients undergoing routine F-FDG PET/CT imaging. Patients completed the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) questionnaire to assess joint pain, stiffness, and physical function. Standardized uptake values (SUVs) were measured in hip, knee, acromioclavicular (AC), and glenohumeral (GH) joints. Scout PET/CT images were evaluated for OA using the Kellgren and Lawrence (K/L) system. Patients were followed-up for 5 years to determine the progression of OA on the basis of follow-up imaging or surgical intervention.ResultsSUV of knee (r=0.309, P=0.0003), hip (r=0.260, P=0.0027), AC (r=0.186, P=0.0313), and GH (r=0.191, P=0.0271) joints correlated with WOMAC overall scores. Furthermore, SUV of knee (r=0.410, P<0.0001), hip (r=0.203, P=0.0199), and AC (r=0.364, P<0.0001) joints correlated with K/L scores. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curves for SUV were 0.734 (knee), 0.678 (hip), 0.661 (AC), and 0.544 (GH) for symptomatic OA detection based on WOMAC overall z-score greater or equal to 2. Compared with K/L score [hazard ratio (HR)=0.798, P=0.5324], age (HR=0.992, P=0.8978), and WOMAC overall score (HR=1.089, P=0.1265), only SUV (HR=5.653, P=0.0229) was an independent predictor of OA progression in the knees.ConclusionF-FDG PET/CT may be helpful with localization of painful abnormalities in the inflamed regions of the joints, which could potentially be used to direct individualized treatment in moderate and severe OA. Furthermore, SUV measurement on F-FDG PET/CT could serve as an inflammation activity index in the knees that may be predictive of outcomes and progression rate of OA.
