Objective:To evaluate the relationship between the presence of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations and 18-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose(18F-FDG) uptake of primary tumor in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods:Totally 126 patients with NSCLC diagnosed by pathology were collected, who underwent PET/CT examinations and EGFR mutation tests before any anti-tumor therapies, the relationship between the maximum standard uptake value (SUVmax) and the EGFR mutation was analyzed. Results:EGFR mutations within exons 19 and 21 were detected in 51 NSCLC patients (40.5%), the SUVmax was significantly lower in EGFR mutant-type than wild-type (6±4 vs 11±6, P=0.014). For the prediction of EGFR mutations by SUVmax, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC) was 0.769, P=0.001. When the cut off value was 8.15, the Youden index reached the maximum value 0.455. Conclusion:18F-FDG uptake is associated with the presence of EGFR mutation, patients with lower SUVmax are more likely to harbor EGFR mutations. |
