Prognostic value of thoracic tumor staging and volume parameters in non-small cell lung cancer patients with synchronous solitary bone metastasis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with synchronous solitary metastasis are a heterogeneous population. The analysis and evaluation of NSCLC patients with synchronous solitary bone metastases by cTN stage (thoracic tumor staging) and volume parameters have not yet been studied. The purpose of this study is to estimate the prognostic value of cTN stage and volume parameters obtained by fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) in NSCLC patients with synchronous solitary bone metastasis.

Methods

A total of 157 NSCLC patients with synchronous solitary bone metastasis were retrospectively analyzed. Patients' cTN stage, metabolic tumor volume (MTV) parameters, and clinical data were collected. Kaplan-Meier survival an
