Dataset Information

Relationships between SUVmax of lung adenocarcinoma and different T stages, histological grades and pathological subtypes: a retrospective cohort study in China.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Cancer cell has aberrant metabolism. The purpose of this study aimed to investigate relationships between maximum standard uptake value (SUVmax）of ¹⁸fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose and T stages, histological grades and pathological subtypes of lung adenocarcinoma.

Design

Retrospective cohort study, employing the Kruskal-Wallis, Bonferroni-Dunn and Mann-Whitney tests to compare SUVmax of different T stages, histological grades and pathological subtypes of lung adenocarcinoma.

Setting

The outpatients who had aberrant positron emission tomography/CT (PET/CT) images in chest were enrolled this study from August 2016 to November 2018 in Shanghai, China.
