Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the utility of pretreatment and 3-month 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) standardized uptake value (SUV) in predicting and assessing recurrence in T3-T4 laryngeal carcinoma treated with definitive radiation therapy (RT). Patients with newly diagnosed T3-T4 laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma treated with definitive RT from 2004 to 2014 were reviewed. Patients who underwent pretreatment or 3-month PET/CT 2 to 4 months after treatment were included. Those with prior systemic, surgical, or RT treatment were excluded. The primary objective was to assess whether pretreatment or posttreatment maximum SUV of the primary site (pSUV) of disease was associated with local recurrence-free survival. Overall survival was a secondary end point. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value were calculated to assess the accuracy of 3-month PET/CT at the larynx primary. Twenty-eight patients were eligible for analysis. Median follow-up time was 34.7 months (range, 5.3-138.7 months), and median age was 57 years. Most patients had supraglottic (71.4%), T3 (89.3%), N2 (50.0%) disease, received chemotherapy (96.4%), and had ...Continue Reading
