SUV<sub>max</sub> and Tumour Location in PET-CT Predict Oncogene Status in Lung Cancer

Abstract: Background: In non-small cell lung cancer, anaplastic lymphoma kinase gene rearrangement (ALK+) and epidermal growth factor receptor mutations (EGFR+) are targetable with tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Patients and Methods: 27 patients with ALK+ tumours, who underwent positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) prior to any treatment, were identified. 2 equally sized control groups based on consecutive patients with EGFR+ and EGFR/ALK wild-type (wt) were identified. The maximum standardized uptake v… Show more

“…Besides, we can also find some other features, including higher frequencies of distant nodal metastasis and lymphangitic carcinomatosis, no air bronchogram [36,38] . On the other hand, EGFR mutations are prone to occur in the peripheral [39] . Both can be found in the peripheral-type squamous cell carcinoma (P-SqCC) and pneumonic-type lung adenocarcinoma (P-ADC) [8] .…”

“…[ 36 , 38 ] On the other hand, EGFR mutations are prone to occur in the peripheral. [ 39 ] Both can be found in the peripheral-type squamous cell carcinoma (P-SqCC) and pneumonic-type lung adenocarcinoma (P-ADC). [ 8 ] If patients in specific CT features (pleural tag and air bronchogram) with first tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) failure in peripheral location, they are more likely to have a recurrence in T790M status when rebiopsy.…”

“…18 Fluorine-fluoro-D-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (( 18 F)-FDG PET/ CT), as an emerging imaging technique, can not only depict anatomical structure, but also reflect the biological characteristics of tumors. However, the potential of PET/CT to predict mutation status of EGFR remains controversial (17)(18)(19)(20). Radiomics, which has emerged as a promising technique to identify genetic phenotypes in several types of tumors, is inspired by the concept of extracting underlying imaging features from medical images for quantitative imaging analysis (21).…”

“…For instance, exposure to tobacco carcinogens leads to centrally located NSCLC tumors with higher accumulation of alterations in suppressor genes [ 78 ]. On the other hand, oncogenic alterations such as EGFR-activating mutations are prone to occur in the peripheral location that is more common to LUAD [ 79 , 80 ]. Our results indicate that central locations of NSCLC (high neighborhood of bronchi) decrease the probability to detect RET alterations (Fig.…”
