Overview

Retrospective study evaluates diagnostic performance of SUVmax for predicting axillary metastasis in breast cancer, indicating its clinical importance.

Key Points

  • Evaluate the effectiveness of SUVmax from preoperative 18F-FDG PET/CT in predicting axillary metastasis in breast cancer.
  • Single-center retrospective study of 62 patients
  • Comparison of SUVmax and clinical factors with pathological findings
  • ROC analysis to determine optimal SUVmax cut-off point
  • 54.8% of patients had pathological axillary metastasis
  • Advanced T stage significantly correlated with metastasis (p=0.009)
  • Higher axillary lymph node diameter and SUVmax in metastasis-positive group
