The correlation study between the glucose metabolism of 18F-FDG PET/CT incidental thyroid cancer and clinicopathologic characteristics
Background and purpose: The proportion of incidental thyroid cancer in PET imaging was s
ignificantly increased with the wide application of
18
F-FDG PET/CT. The correlation between the glucose metabolism of thyroid incidental thyroid cancer and pathological changes is unclear. The objective of this study is to analyze the relationship between the glucose metabolism by
18
F-FDG PET/CT and tumor differentiation or lymph node metastasis in patients with incidental thyroid cancer. Methods: A total of 195 patients with focal FDG-avid thyroid incidentaloma during cancer evaluation were enrolled. Fifty-three patients were diagnosed as having thyroid cancer by the pathology. The SUV
max
of thyroid cancer foci
lesion size
lesion number
and SUV
max
of normal thyroid tissue were quantified. The tumor pathological grades and lymph node metastasis were analyzed by the pathology. The patients were broken down into 4 groups (G
1
G
2
G
3
and G
4
) according to the tumor pathological grades and lymph node metastasis (differentiated thyroid cancer
non-differentiated thyroid cancer
without lymph node metastasis and with lymph node metastasis). The differences of glucose metabolism between G
1
and G
2
groups
G
3
and G
4
groups were analyzed. Results: Fifty-three foci were found by PET imaging. Sixty-two foci were found by the pathology (37 papillary thyroid carcinoma
4 follicular thyroid carcinoma
9 medullary thyroid carcinoma
3 poorly differentiated thyroid cancer). The SUV
max
in the normal thyroid tissue
G
1
and G
2
were 1.51±0.30
4.25±1.70 and 6.34±2.45
respectively. The SUV
max
in the G
1
and G
2
were significantly higher than in the normal thyroid tissue (t=11.0,t=7.10,P0.01). The SUV
max
of G
3
was 4.77±2.15
and the SUV
max
of G
4
group was 4.67±2.02. The differences between G
1
and G
2
groups
G
3
and G
4
groups were not statistically signif
icant (t=3.61
P0.05; t=0.33
P=0.56). Conclusion: The differentiated incidental thyroid carcinoma and non-differentiated incidental thyroid carcinoma had high glucose metabolism
and there was no significant difference in the levels of glucose metabolism in different differentiation degree and metastasis ability cancer.
