Prognostic significance of venous invasion and maximum standardized uptake value of 18F-FDG PET/CT in surgically resected T1N0 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma

Predictive Factors for Lymph Node Metastasis in Clinical Stage I Part-Solid Lung Adenocarcinoma

“…The SUV of a lesion was obtained by manual placement of regions of interest around the lesion, and the most prominent SUV visible in the scanned body (SUVmax) within a region of interest was used to minimize partial volume effects. 13 Clinical N1 or N2 nodes were considered to be positive when the nodes were 1 cm or greater on the short-axis dimension of the chest CT or SUVmax exceeded 2.5 on FDG-PET/CT, or both.…”

Intramural Metastasis as a Risk Factor for Recurrence in Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

“…All patients underwent transthoracic esophagectomy or transhiatal esophagectomy with conventional two-or three-field lymphadenectomy. The Ivor-Lewis procedure or the three-hole (modified McKeown) operation, based on tumor location, was the standard procedure for esophagectomy at our hospital [13].…”

Surgically Resected Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Patient Survival and Clinicopathological Prognostic Factors

“…These studies showed similar results to those seen in this study. According to Jeon et al 11 , venous invasion and high SUV max could be important prognostic factors for disease recurrence in T1N0M0 eSCCs. Song et al also reported similar results from their cohort in which all stages of eSCCs were included 12 .…”
