Objective. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of quantitative metabolic parameters measured on F-18 FOG PET/CT (FDG PET/CT) at the time of the first relapse in patients with relapsed epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC).Methods. Fifty-six relapsed EOC patients were retrospectively included. Quantitative metabolic parameters including maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax), whole-body metabolic tumor volume (WBMTV), and whole-body total lesion glycolysis (WBTLG) were measured on FDG PET/CT at the time of the first relapse. Post-relapse survival (PRS) was calculated from the date of diagnosis of relapsed disease to the date of death or last follow-up. Univariate and multivariate analyses for PRS were performed using clinical and quantitative metabolic parameters.Results. Thirty-two patients died from the disease during the follow-up period (median: 462 months). On univariate and multivariate analyses, the platinum-free interval, type of second-line treatment, WBMTV, and WBTLG were all significant prognostic factors for PRS. The subgroup of patients who were platinum-sensitive with low WBMTV and low WBTLG showed better prognosis, when compared with other subgroups (log-rank test, p < 0.001). Patients treated with secondary cytoreductive surgery (SCS) followed by second-line chemotherapy showed significantly longer duration of PRS than patients treated with second-line chemotherapy only (mean PRS = 61 vs. 36 months, chi(2) = 8.68, p = 0.032).Conclusion. Our results suggest that quantitative metabolic parameters measured on FDG PET/CT at the time of the first relapse have significant predictive values for PRS. Incorporating quantitative metabolic parameters and conventional clinical parameters has a superior prognostic discrimination compared with conventional clinical parameters alone.
