Implication

FDG-PET may aid non-invasive liposarcoma grading; hypothesis-generating, requires prospective validation before clinical adoption.

Structured PICO

Does FDG-PET differentiate between low-grade and high-grade liposarcomas?

Population

5 patients with liposarcomas of the thigh (3 low-grade National Cancer Institute Grade 1 myxoid liposarcomas, 2 high-grade pleomorphic liposarcomas Grades 2 and 3)

Intervention

Positron emission tomography (PET) with [18F]2-deoxy-2-fluoroglucose (FDG)

Outcome

Dose uptake ratio (DUR) of FDGsurrogate

FDG-PET shows significantly higher dose uptake ratios in high-grade versus low-grade liposarcomas, suggesting utility in non-invasive tumor grading.
