Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the prognostic value of C-11-methionine (MET) and F-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) in glioma patients.Methods: The study population comprised 47 patients with gliomas (19 glioblastoma, 28 others). Pretreatment magnetic resonance imaging, MET PET and FDG PET were performed within a time interval of 2 weeks in all patients. The uptake ratio and standard uptake values were calculated. Univariate and multivariate analyses were done to determine significant prognostic factors. Ki-67 index was measured by immunohistochemical staining, and compared with FDG and MET uptake in glioma.Results: Among the several clinicopathological prognostic factors, tumour pathology (glioblastoma or not), age (greater than or equal to60 or
