BackgroundThis study aimed to determine the significance of the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) on 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) images on postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy for lung adenocarcinoma.MethodsWe assessed recurrence-free interval (RFI) and overall survival (OS) based on SUVmaxvalues derived from preoperative FDG-PET/CT images in 174 consecutive patients with completely resected pathologic stage T1b-2aN0M0 lung adenocarcinoma.ResultsNinety patients received adjuvant chemotherapy and 84 did not. Adjuvant chemotherapy conferred benefits on RFI and OS when compared with observation (p= 0.007 andp= 0.004, respectively). Multivariate Cox regression analyses revealed SUVmaxas an independent prognostic factor for RFI. RFI and OS were significantly longer for patients who received adjuvant chemotherapy compared with those who did not in the group with SUVmaxgreater than or equal to 2.6 (p< 0.001 andp< 0.001, respectively). However, RFI and OS did not differ significantly between such patients in the group with SUVmaxless than 2.6 (p= 0.421 andp= 0.452, respectively).ConclusionsPreoperative SUVmaxdetermined from FDG-PET/CT images reflected the effect of adjuvant chemotherapy after complete resection in patients with pathologic stage T1b-2aN0M0 lung adenocarcinoma. Indications for postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy among patients with lung adenocarcinoma might be more precisely determined using SUVmaxderived from FDG-PET/CT images together with tumor size.
