Abstract
This study aimed to assess the prognostic value of 18F-FDG uptake in
hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients who had transarterial chemoembolization
(TACE) or concurrent intraarterial chemotherapy with
external-beam radiotherapy (CCRT) and to compare the prognosis
between patients treated with TACE and those with CCRT according
to 18F-FDG uptake. Methods: Two hundred fourteen intermediate–
to–advanced-stage HCC patients without extrahepatic metastasis
who underwent staging 18F-FDG PET/CT before TACE (153 patients)
or CCRT (61 patients) were recruited from 7 hospitals. Progressionfree
survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were compared using an
optimal cutoff value for tumor-to-normal liver uptake ratio (TLR). Further,
PFS and OS were compared according to treatment modalities
(TACE vs. CCRT) using the same TLR cutoff value. Results: On
multivariate analysis, age and TLR were independent prognostic
factors for PFS (P , 0.050). For OS, Child–Pugh classification and
TLR were independent prognostic factors (P , 0.050). When the
TLR was greater than 2.0, patients treated with CCRT showed significantly
better PFS and OS than those treated with TACE after
adjusting for tumor size and number (P 5 0.014, for all). In contrast,
there was no significant difference in PFS and OS between patients
treated with TACE or CCRT when the TLR was 2.0 or less.
Conclusion: 18F-FDG uptake was an independent prognostic factor
for PFS and OS in HCC patients treated with TACE or CCRT.
Especially, in HCCs with high 18F-FDG uptake, patients treated
with CCRT showed better survival than those treated with TACE
