TI  - Prognostic value of fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography 
      in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer: single center experience.
PG  - 724-8
AB  - PURPOSE: The purpose of this retrospective single-center study was to evaluate 
      the prognostic implication on overall survival (OS) of the F-18 FDG PET scan in 
      locally advanced or metastatic non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. 
      METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 120 locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC 
      patients (December 2004-November 2011) treated/followed at the Dicle University, 
      School of Medicine, Department of Medical Oncology. SUVmax and other potential 
      prognostic variables (n=18) were chosen for analysis. Univariate and multivariate 
      analyses were conducted to identify prognostic factors for OS. RESULTS: Among 18 
      variables of univariate analysis, 6 were identified to bear prognostic 
      significance: sex (p=0.01), performance status (PS) (p =0.03), stage (p=0.04), 
      bone metastases (p=0.002), serum albumin (p=0.01) and blood glucose level 
      (p=0.03). Multivariate analysis showed that PS, bone metastases and serum albumin 
      level were independent prognostic factors for OS (p=0.01, p=0.004, p=0.003, 
      respectively). CONCLUSION: PS, serum albumin levels and bone metastases were 
      independent prognostic factors, while FDG uptake of the primary lesion was not 
      associated with prognosis of OS in locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC patients.
