Background: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has a poor prognosis even for early stages of the disease (stage I and II). We studied the prognostic value of PET FDG in patients with completely resected stage I and II NSCLC. Methods: Retrospective study of 96 patients with NSCLC whose staging included F-18-FDG PET (fluoro deoxy glucose positron emission tomography). Histopathotogicat stage was either stage I (75) or stage II (n = 21). FDG uptake was measured as maximal. standardized uptake value for body weight (SUVmax). Mean follow-up was 45 30 months (1 142 months). Overall and cancer-free survival rates were recorded. Results: SUVmax were higher for stage II than for stage I (10.5 +/- 4.5 vs 8.5 +/- 5, p = 0.04). Mean umor volumes were equivalent for both stages (33 cm(3), p = 0.18), excluding a partial volume effect. The median SUVmax in the whole study population was 7.8. The median survival was significantly longer in patients with a tower (SUVmax
