Abstract

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate 18F-fluoro-2-deoxy-glucose (FDG) uptake patterns in primary tumors and metastatic lesions, and also to assess the diagnostic contribution of positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in the initial staging of gastric cancer (GC).Methods: The total number of 341 patients with GC were included in this study. All 18F-FDG PET/CT imagings were performed for initial staging. The maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) of primary tumor, obtained from 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging was compared between subtypes of GC.Results: Mean SUVmax of 339 patients’ primary tumor was 12.9±8.6. The highest mean SUVmax was detected in patients with medullary subtype GC (17.8±9.9) while the lowest mean SUVmax (9.7±7.6) was seen in signet ring cell carcinoma (SRCC). The primary mean SUVmax was found statistically higher in adenocarcinoma (AC) group than SRCC group (p3 cm) in patients with AC (p=0.03). Primary tumor SUVmax was found statistically higher in regional lymph node (RLN) positive patients than in RLN negative patients in AC and SRCC groups (p

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı primer tümörlerde ve metastatik lezyonlarda 18F-floro-2-deoksi-glukoz (18F-FDG) tutulum paternlerini değerlendirmek ve ayrıca mide kanserinin (MK) evrelemesinde pozitron emisyon tomografi/bilgisayarlı tomografi’nin (PET/BT) tanısal katkısını değerlendirmektir.Yöntem: Çalışmaya toplam 341 MK hastası dahil edildi. Primer evreleme 18F-FDG PET/BT görüntüleme ile yapıldı. 18F-FDG PET/BT görüntülemeden elde edilen primer tümöre ait maksimum standart tutulum (SUVmax) MK alt tipleri arasında karşılaştırıldı.Bulgular: Üç yüz otuz dokuz hastaya ait primer tümörün ortalama SUVmax değeri 12,9±8,6 idi. En yüksek ortalama SUVmax, medüller alt tip MK’li hastalarda (17,8±9,9), en düşük ortalama SUVmax (9,7±7,6), taşlı yüzük hücreli mide kanserinde (TYHMK) görüldü. Ortalama SUVmax, adenokarsinom (AK) grubunda TYHMK grubundan istatistiksel olarak daha yüksek bulundu (p3 cm) ile istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede ilişkili bulundu (p=0,03). Primer tümör SUVmax, bölgesel lenf nodu (RLN) pozitif olan hastalarda AK ve TYHMK gruplarındaki RLN negatiflerden anlamlı olarak yüksek bulundu (p
