Abstract

As a non‑invasive method, positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) using 2‑deoxy‑2‑fluoro‑18-fluoro-D-glucose (18F‑FDG) is applied as a useful modality in the diagnosis of breast cancer. By evaluating glucose metabolism, this method can also be used in staging, restaging and post‑therapeutic response evaluation. To evaluate the reliability of the 18F‑FDG PET/CT‑based peri‑tumoral halo uptake layer (PHL) method for assessing tumor size, a total of 79 female patients with breast cancer who underwent 18F‑FDG PET/CT, breast ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) evaluations were included in the present study. Upon examination by two independent nuclear medicine radiologists, tumor sizes were estimated by 18F‑FDG PET/CT using margins defined as the inner line of the PHL. Pathological tumor sizes were evaluated on the direction of largest diameter indicated by previous imaging examination, which were also utilized as final standards. Statistical analysis of the results suggested that 18F‑FDG PET/CT had a more linear correlation with pathology compared with breast ultrasound (r2=0.89 vs. 0.73) and MRI (r2=0.89 vs. 0.69) in terms of tumor size estimation, including a significantly lower bias in size difference relative to pathology. 18F‑FDG PET/CT also exhibited improved performance compared with breast ultrasound and MRI in T stage assessment. These results indicated that the 18F‑FDG PET/CT‑based PHL method was superior to breast ultrasound and MRI, and that it provides sufficient reliability and high accuracy for measuring tumor size in patients with breast cancer.
