Figure 2. Tumor growth and cellular proliferation are not independent predictors of FDG uptake.

Figure 2

A. Growth curves for tumors of the indicated genotype. There was no significant difference in the growth rates of tumors based on their genotypes. B. The proliferative rates of tumors were assessed by Ki67 staining. Proliferation rates varied significantly across genotypes (p=0.0011, Kruskal-Wallis test). C and D. Correlation between tumor cell proliferation and FDG uptake across all tumors (C) or within tumors of a given genotype (D). While there was a modest correlation between proliferation and FDG uptake, this correlation was dependent of the tumor’s genotype, suggesting that proliferation is not an independent predictor of high uptake. *p<0.05
