Relationship of FDG PET/CT Textural Features with the Tumor Microenvironment and Recurrence Risks in Patients with Advanced Gastric Cancers.

ABSTRACT: The relationship between 2-deoxy-2-[¹⁸F]fluoro-D-glucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) textural features and histopathological findings in gastric cancer has not been fully evaluated. We investigated the relationship between the textural features of primary tumors on FDG PET/CT with histopathological findings and recurrence-free survival (RFS) in patients with advanced gastric cancer (AGC). Fifty-six patients with AGC who underwent FDG PET/CT for staging work-ups were retrospectively enrolled. Conventional parameters and the first- and second-order textural features of AGC were extracted using PET textural analysis. Upon histopathological analysis, along with histopathological classification and staging, the degree of CD4, CD8, and CD163 cell in
