[F-18]Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake has been shown to correlate well with tumor proliferation rates. In patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) receiving chemotherapy, we analyzed the relationships between the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) obtained by FDG positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) and other clinical factors, and examined whether or not SUVmax could predict progression-free survival (PFS) and/or overall survival (OS). This retrospective study involved 62 consecutive NSCLC patients (35 male and 27 female: median age, 65 years). All patients underwent FDG-PET examination before treatment. As the first-line treatment, the patients received chemotherapy with (n=15) or without (n=47) radiotherapy. Survival curves were obtained by the Kaplan-Meier method, and differences in survival between subgroups were analyzed by the log-rank test and the Cox proportional hazards model. Significant correlations were observed between SUVmax and gender (P=0.006), histology (P
