TL;DR
From the analysis of data concerning 498 lung cancer patients, including surgical and non-surgical cases, there is a clear association between higher tumour uptake of glucose and worse survival.
Abstract
We sought to establish the extent to which tumour uptake of [18F]-fluoro2-deoxy-glucose is associated with survival in patients with primary lung cancer. From our analysis of data concerning 498 lung cancer patients, including surgical and non-surgical cases, we conclude that there is a clear association between higher tumour uptake of glucose and worse survival.

It is concluded that the FDG uptake in primary NSCLC on PET has an important prognostic value and could be complementary to other well-known factors in the decision on adjuvant treatment protocols.

In surgically managed lung cancer patients, SUV is a predictor of overall survival after resection and the addition of SUV(MAX) to pathologic tumor size identifies a subgroup of patients at highest risk for death as a result of recurrent disease after resections.

Whether FDG uptake in lung carcinoma, as measured on positron emission tomography (PET) imaging in patients with newly diagnosed bronchogenic carcinomas, has prognostic significance is determined.

The maximum standard uptake value of a non-small cell lung cancer nodule on dedicated positron emission tomography is an independent predictor of stage and tumor characteristics and is a more powerful independent predictor than the TNM stage for recurrence and survival for patients with early-stage resected cancer.

The SUV of the primary tumor was the strongest prognostic factor among the patients treated by curative surgery or radiotherapy among patients with stage I to IIIb NSCLC.

It is concluded that the 18F-FDG uptake in primary NSCLC determined by PET has a significant independent postoperative prognostic value for recurrence, especially in patients with pathologic stage I NSCLE and a multivariate Cox analysis identified the SUV as the most significant independent factor for disease-free survival.

The data suggest a direct relation between tumor growth and FDG uptake in lung cancer and the technique of FDG PET demonstrates exceptional accuracy and may permit prompt diagnosis of lung cancer.

It is concluded that the FDG SUV is potentially a good indicator for selecting patients for different treatment strategies and an important prognostic factor for survival of inoperable NSCLC patients and a predictive factor for treatment response.

The empirical evaluation indicates that hybrid analysis may be useful to derive more up-to-date estimates of long-term survival compared with traditional design options if there is a strong improvement of survival over time, even in situations with a substantial delay in recording of incident cases.
