Abstract
Objective:

The prognostic value of metabolic parameters using 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG PET/CT) has not been established for early non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Accordingly, the authors investigated the prognostic value of metabolic parameters in terms of failure patterns in patients with early NSCLC who underwent stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT).

Methods:

Data from 35 patients with Stage I NSCLC who underwent SBRT using CyberKnife and received pretreatment FDG PET/CT between 2008 and 2016 were retrospectively reviewed. Maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax), metabolic tumor volume, and total lesion glycolysis were measured. The significance of these parameters with regard to failure patterns was assessed.

Results:

The median follow-up was 23 months for all patients and 34 months for living patients. Ten patients experienced recurrence: three local failures, five regional failures (RF), and eight distant failures (DF). Three-year local, regional and distant control rates were 96.7%, 86.4% and 71.1%, respectively. High SUVmax (<9 vs. ≥9) was an independent predictive factor associated with increased RF (P = 0.027) and DF (P = 0.008). Furthermore, SUVmax was indicative of both progression-free (P = 0.015) and overall (P = 0.034) survival.

Conclusions:

High SUVmax was a significant metabolic parameter associated with increased RF and DF in patients with early NSCLC who received SBRT, having a high propensity for dissemination. These results suggest that adjuvant treatment in conjunction with SBRT may be considered in patients with early NSCLC and high SUVmax.
