Abstract

Pretreatment tumor metabolic burden, measured using fluorine‑18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computerized tomography (18F‑FDG PET/CT), has been demonstrated to predict outcomes in various types of malignancies. Additionally, Epstein‑Barr virus (EBV) serum titer is associated with stages of pulmonary lymphoepithelioma‑like carcinoma (LELC). The present study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of the functional parameters of 18F‑FDG PET/CT in pulmonary LELC and their association with serum EBV DNA. The present retrospective study analyzed data from 71 patients with pulmonary LELC; among these, 32 patients with pulmonary LELC underwent pretreatment 18F‑FDG PET/CT staging between January 2008 and December 2016. EBV viral load and functional parameters of 18F‑FDG PET/CT were used for survival analysis. Multivariate analysis identified tumor stage IV as a significant predictor of poor progression‑free survival [hazard ratio (HR), 4.85; P=0.049], whereas elevated total metabolic tumor volume (MTV ≥72.6 ml) independently predicted worse overall survival (OS; HR, 12.59; P=0.024). Pretreatment serum EBV DNA titer was significantly positively associated with total MTV (P=0.0337) and total lesion glycolysis (TLG; P=0.0093), but could not predict outcomes. Total MTV was an independent predictor of OS, and may guide clinical management for pulmonary LELC.
