Abstract:Background: The prognostic factors for breast cancer include pretreatment staging, nodal and distant metastasis, hormone receptor status, ki67 index, and molecular subtype. For adequate treatment, [18F]FDG PET/CT is now being used to prognosticate the course and response of treatment in breast cancer patients. Our study aims to find the association between the metabolic activity of primary breast tumors as PET/CT SUV uptake and prognostic factors such as ER/PgR/Her2neu receptor status, molecular subtypes, ki67… Show more
