Uptake ratio | NET G1 (n = 21) | NET G2 (n = 55) | NET G3/NEC (n = 21) | All (n = 97) |
---|---|---|---|---|
TLR ≥ 2 | 13 (62%) | 42 (76%) | 19 (91%) | 74 (76%) |
TLR < 2 | 8 (38%) | 13 (24%) | 2 (10%) | 23 (24%) |
A tumor was defined as positive when the TLR, measured as lesion SUVmax–to–normal liver SUVmean, was ≥ 2. Of the patients with NET G3/NEC tumors, 13 of 14 (93%) patients with NET G3 were positive and 6 of 7 (86%) patients with NEC were positive.
