ROC Results for Nodal PET/CT Parameters in the Prediction of HPV Status

PET/CT parameters	ROC analysis cutoff value	Sensitivity (%)	Specificity (%)
Nodal SUV max	7.66	83	81
Nodal SUV mean	4.47	78	86
Nodal SUV peak	5.93	83	81
Nodal MTV	2.5	94	71
Nodal TLG	9.0	89	76
Nodal N SAM	7.8	89	81
Nodal SAM	7.7	89	81

Results for tumor PET/CT parameters are not shown since cut off values were not significant predictors of HPV status.

ROC, receiver operating characteristic; HPV, human papillomavirus; SUV, standardized uptake values; MTV, metabolic tumor volume; TLG, total lesion glycolysis; N SAM, normalized standardized added metabolic activity; SAM, standardized added metabolic activity.
