Preoperative Maximum Standardized Uptake Value Associated With Recurrence Risk in Early Lung Cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study aimed to investigate the maximum standardized uptake value (SUV_max) as a predictor of recurrence and timing of recurrence after resection of early-stage non-small cell lung cancer.

Methods

The study retrospectively reviewed patients from a single institution who underwent lobectomy for stage I to IIa non-small cell lung cancer from 2013 to 2018. Exclusion criteria included preoperative therapy and neuroendocrine histologic type. The study investigators collected recurrence and follow-up data, as well as preoperative SUV_max. A receiver operating characteristic curve was used to identify the optimal SUV_max for predicting recurrence. Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox regression analyses were used to identify predictors of freedom
