Description
Summary:Aims: [sup.18]F-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography/computerized tomography (PET/CT) provides metabolic information in addition to anatomic extension. This study aimed to compare the primary tumor maximum standardized uptake values ([SUV.sub.max]) on PET/CT according to the histopathological type, stage, nodal involvement, and the metastasis of lung cancers. Methods: In this retrospective study, PET/CTs of the patients with lung cancer were examined. Staging of the cancer was performed according to the eighth (8th) edition of the tumor, node and metastasis (TNM) classification system. [SUV.sub.max] values were recorded and compared. Results: Two hundred thirty-three patients with lung cancer (78.5% male, mean age: 67.0[+ or -]9.6 years, range: 47-91 years) were analyzed. The [SUV.sub.max] value of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) (15.2[+ or -]7.6) was higher than the [SUV.sub.max] values of adenocarcinoma (AC) and small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) (10.9[+ or -]5.6 and 12.2[+ or -]5.5, respectively, p
