Introduction: The role of positron-emission tomography/computed-tomography (PET/CT) in the management of sarcomas and as a prognostic tool has been studied. However, it remains unclear which metric is the most useful. We aimed to investigate if volume-based PET metrics (Tumor volume (TV) and total lesions glycolysis (TLG)) are superior to maximal standardized uptake value (SUVmax) and other metrics in predicting survival of patients with soft tissue and bone sarcomas. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, we screened over 52′000 PET/CT scans to identify patients diagnosed with either soft tissue, bone or Ewing sarcoma and had a staging scan at our institution before initial therapy. We used a Wilcoxon signed-rank to assess which PET/CT metric was associated with survival in different patient subgroups. Receiver-Operating-Characteristic curve analysis was used to calculate cutoff values. Results: We identified a total of 88 patients with soft tissue (51), bone (26) or Ewing (11) sarcoma. Median age at presentation was 40 years (Range: 9–86 years). High SUVmax was most significantly associated with short survival (defined as <24 months) in soft tissue sarcoma (with a median and range of SUVmax 12.5 (8.8–16.0) in short (n = 18) and 5.5 (3.3–7.2) in long survival (≥24 months) (n = 31), with (p = 0.001). Similar results were seen in Ewing sarcoma (with a median and range of SUVmax 12.1 (7.6–14.7) in short (n = 6) and 3.7 (3.5–5.5) in long survival (n = 5), with (p = 0.017). However, no PET-specific metric but tumor-volume was significantly associated (p = 0.035) with survival in primary bone sarcomas (with a median and range of 217 cm3 (186–349) in short survival (n = 4) and 60 cm3 (22–104) in long survival (n = 19), with (p = 0.035). TLG was significantly inversely associated with long survival only in Ewing sarcoma (p = 0.03). Discussion: Our analysis shows that the outcome of soft tissue, bone and Ewing sarcomas is associated with different PET/CT metrics. We could not confirm the previously suggested superiority of volume-based metrics in soft tissue sarcomas, for which we found SUVmax to remain the best prognostic factor. However, bone sarcomas should probably be evaluated with tumor volume rather than FDG PET activity.
