Clinical impact of SUV_max of interstitial lesions in lung cancer patients with interstitial lung disease who underwent pulmonary resection.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Acute exacerbation of interstitial lung disease often causes fatal respiratory deterioration in lung cancer patients with interstitial lung disease. Here, we examined whether the maximum standardized uptake value of a contralateral interstitial lesion was a predictive factor of acute exacerbation of interstitial lung disease within 30 days postoperatively in lung cancer patients with interstitial lung disease who underwent pulmonary resection.

Methods

Overall, 117 consecutive lung cancer patients with interstitial lung disease who underwent pulmonary resection between August 2010 and April 2019 at the Kumamoto University Hospital were retrospectively analysed for the association between the maximum standardized uptake value of the contralateral interstitial lesion
