    Prognostic value of F-18-fluorodeoxyglucose PET/computed tomography metabolic parameters measured in the primary tumor and suspicious lymph nodes before neoadjuvant therapy in patients with esophageal carcinoma

    Background F-18-fluorodeoxyglucose PET/computed tomography (F-18-FDG PET/CT) metabolic parameters are prognostic indicators in several neoplasms. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of the maximum and average standardized uptake value (SUVmax and SUVavg), metabolic tumor value (MTV), and total lesion glycolysis (TLG) measured in the primary tumor and suspicious lymph nodes preneoadjuvant therapy in patients submitted to surgical resection for esophageal cancer. Methods A cohort of 113 patients with esophageal cancer who performed F-18-FDG PET/CT preneoadjuvant therapy was assessed. The association of the SUV, MTV, and TLG measured in the primary tumor and in the suspicious lymph nodes with the overall survival was assessed. It was also analyzed other potentially confounding variables such as age, sex, clinical stage, and histologic subtype. The analyses were performed using Kaplan-Meier curve, log-rank test, and Cox regression. Results The univariate analyses showed that the MTV and TLG in the primary tumor, the SUV in the suspicious lymph nodes, the age, the histologic subtype, and the clinical stage were associated with survival after surgery (P <= 0.05). In the Cox regression multivariate analyses, all variables identified in the univariate analyses but the clinical stage were associated with survival after surgery (P <= 0.05). Conclusion In esophageal cancer patients, some of the F-18-FDG PET/CT metabolic parameters measured in the primary tumor and in the suspicious lymph nodes before the neoadjuvant therapy are independent indicators of overall survival and appear to be more important than the clinical stage in the prognostic definition of this group of patients.

    Evaluation of the F-18-FDG-PET/CT uptake association with pathological and immunohistochemistry features in esophagogastric adenocarcinoma
    (2022) PERROTTA, Fernando Simionato; RIBEIRO JR., Ulysses; MESTER, Marcelo; MELLO, Evandro Sobroza de; SADO, Heitor Naoki; PINHEIRO, Rafaela Brito Bezerra; TUSTUMI, Francisco; BUCHPIGUEL, Carlos Alberto; ZILBERSTEIN, Bruno; SALLUM, Rubens Antonio Aissar; CECONELLO, Ivan
    Background The present study aimed to analyze the association between F-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake and histologic panel in esophagogastric adenocarcinoma. Methods We retrospectively enrolled 26 patients with histologically confirmed esophageal, gastroesophageal junction and gastric adenocarcinoma that have been submitted to pretreatment FDG-PET/CT. We collected the cancer tissue sample of each patient and performed immunohistochemical analyses of the glucose transport protein 1 (GLUT-1), Ki-67, cysteine aspartate-specific proteinases (Caspase)-3 and hexokinase-1, and evaluated the association of these parameters with FDG uptake. The FDG uptake was measured by tumor standardized uptake value (SUV), metabolic tumor volume (MTV), and Total Lesion Glycolysis (TLG). Besides, we analyzed the association of FDG uptake and tumor location, Lauren's histologic subtype, grade of cellular differentiation and intratumoral inflammatory infiltrate. Results We found a positive association between GLUT-1 with SUV and TLG, Caspase-3 and SUV and inflammation grade with SUV. Conclusion Tumor inflammation infiltrate, GLUT-1 and Caspase-3 correlated with F-18-FDG uptake in PET/CT in esophagogastric adenocarcinoma. These findings may help understand the pathologic PET/CT significance in cancer. Understanding the meaning of the F-18-FDG uptake in the field of tumor histologic and immunohistochemistry features is essential to allow the evolution of PET/CT application in esophageal and gastric carcinomas.
