Association of preoperative SUVmax with histological high-grade pattern in resected clinical stage IA lung adenocarcinoma: Derivation and temporal validation.
BACKGROUND IASLC grading defines histologic high-grade lung adenocarcinoma as Grade 3 (≥20% high-grade pattern) and is associated with poor outcomes even in clinical stage IA disease. Reliable preoperative identification remains challenging. We evaluated whether primary-tumor SUVmax on FDG-PET/CT is associated with IAS...
