Objective: To investigate the relationship between fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake (maximum standardised uptake value [SUVmax]) and immune markers (tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes [TILs] and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio [NLR]) and evaluate the potential prognostic value of any correlations.Methods: Data from 502 patients with breast cancer, including 346 oestrogen receptor (ER)-positive / human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative, 88 HER2-positive, and 68 triple-negative cases, who had undergone surgery were reviewed. Relationships between the clinicopathological factors, SUVmax, TILs, NLR, recurrence-free survival (RFS), and overall survival of all patients and each subtype were evaluated using a Cox proportional hazards model and log-rank test. A sub-analysis of patients divided into low and high TIL groups was also undertaken.Results: High SUVmax was significantly related to high TILs (p < 0.0001). In low TIL (TILs1) group, patients with high SUVmax (>= 3.585) had a significantly shorter RFS than those with low SUVmax (
