2 FIGURE 1 Overall survival (OS) and time to recurrence (TTR) by maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax). A, The median OS of patients with epithelioid tumors with high SUVmax (n = 12) was significantly shorter (7.1 months) than that of patients with epithelioid tumors with low SUVmax (n = 54, 18.9 months) and comparable to patients with nonepithelioid tumors (n = 12, 7.2 months). B, In 44 patients with completely resected epithelioid tumors, the median TTR for those with high SUVmax (n = 7) was significantly shorter (14.4 months) than that of patients with low SUVmax (n = 37, 21.9 months). SUVmax, maximum standardized uptake value. Journal of Thoracic Oncology 2012 7, DOI: ( /JTO.0b013e d96) Copyright © 2012 International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer Terms and Conditions

3 FIGURE 2 Association between maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) and histology. A, Within the epithelioid tumors, pleomorphic subtype (n = 9) had the highest SUVmax (mean ± SD: 10.6 ± 5.9), followed by solid (n = 20, 6.5 ± 2.9), micropapillary (n = 10, 6.1 ± 2.8), tubulopapillary (n = 18, 6.7 ± 4.0), and trabecular (n = 9, 6.7 ± 3.0). B, SUVmax of nonepithelioid tumors (n = 12, 9.1 ± 4.8) was similar to that of pleomorphic subtype and significantly higher than that of epithelioid nonpleomorphic subtype (n = 57, 6.5 ± 3.2). SUVmax, maximum standardized uptake value. Journal of Thoracic Oncology 2012 7, DOI: ( /JTO.0b013e d96) Copyright © 2012 International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer Terms and Conditions
