Method We reviewed 174 consecutive patients with completely resected pathological T1b-
2aN0M0 lung adenocarcinoma between January 2006 and March 2011, and assessed …

Background This study aimed to determine the significance of the maximum standardized
uptake value (SUV max) on 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission …

BACKGROUND: Maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose
positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) has been found to have prognostic value. We …

Purpose: This retrospective study evaluated whether the maximum standardized uptake
value (SUVmax) on 18F-deoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET) could be …

7574 Background: While the role of neo-adjuvant chemotherapy (NAT) in stage IIIA non-
small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is well established, its efficacy in stage II is unclear. We …

Purpose Approximately 20 to 40% of patients with surgically resected stage I non-small cell
lung cancer (NSCLC) will develop recurrent disease. Positron emission tomography (PET) …

Background This multicenter study aimed to validate the ability of 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose
positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) plus high-resolution …

Purpose To evaluate the prognostic value of FDG PET/CT metabolic parameter compared to
clinico–pathological risk factors in surgical margin-negative stage IA non-small cell lung …

Background: Although pathologic stage I lung cancers generally have a favorable
prognosis, approximately 20% of patients experience recurrence after surgery. Therefore, a …
