Clinical Impact of Dual Time Point 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography Fusion Imaging in Pancreatic Cancer

We examined the value of preoperative dual time point (DTP) 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography fusion imaging (FDG PET/CT) as a predictor of early recurrence or the outcomes in patients with pancreatic cancer. Standardized uptake values (SUVs) in DTP FDG PET/CT were performed as preoperative staging. SUVmax1 and SUVmax2 were obtained in 60 min and 120 min, respectively. ΔSUVmax% was defined as (SUVmax2 − SUVmax1)/SUVmax1 × 100. The optimal cut-off values for SUVmax parameters were selected based on tumor relapse within 1 year of surgery. Optimal cut-off values for SUVmax1 and ΔSUVmax% were 7.18 and 24.25, respectively. The combination of SUVmax1 and ΔSUVmax% showed higher specificity and sensitivity, and higher positive and negative predictive values for tumor relapse within 1 year than SUVmax1 alone. Relapse-free survival (RFS) was significantly worse in the subgroups of high SUVmax1 and high ΔSUVmax% (median 7.0 months) than in the other subgroups (p < 0.0001). The multivariate Cox analysis of RFS identified high SUVmax1 and high ΔSUVmax% as independent prognostic factors (p = 0.0060). DTP FDG PET/CT may effectively predict relapse in patients with pancreatic cancer. The combination of SUVmax1 and ΔSUVmax% identified early recurrent patient groups more precisely than SUVmax1 alone.
