Summary statistics for pCR and BPR for PET responders versus non-responders^a

PET response by SUV_mean	Pathological complete response (pCR)
	Yes		No		% Achieving pCR
Responders	3		6		33.3%
Non-responders	1		6		14.3%
Fisher’s exact test of difference			p = 0.5846
Odds ratio for achieving pCR to NAC for PET responders (80% CI)			3.00 (0.57–15.69)
PET response by SUV_mean	Best pathological response (complete + partial response)
	Complete response	Partial response	Stable disease	Progressive disease	% Achieving BPR
Responders	3	5	0	1	88.9%
Non-responders	1	2	3	1	42.9%
Fisher’s exact test of difference			p = 0.1058
Odds ratio for achieving BPR to NAC for PET responders (80% CI)			10.67 (2.00–56.95)
