When is it Best to Repeat a 2-Fluoro-2-Deoxy-d-Glucose Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography Scan on Patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Who Have Received Neoadjuvant Chemoradiotherapy?

Fig 1 Algorithm for the restaging of patients with stage IIIa (N2) non-small cell lung cancer after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy using cisplatinum-based chemotherapy and concurrent high dose (60 Gy or greater) of radiotherapy. (CT = computed tomography; maxSUV = maximum standardized uptake value; PET = positron emission tomography.)

Fig 2 Accuracy of integrated 2-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography scan for restaging, overall (gray bars) and for N2 disease (black bars) based on the time interval between the last dose of radiotherapy and the repeat PET scan.

Fig 3 Receiver operating characteristic curve (black line) with 95% confidence intervals (gray lines) shows the optimal time to perform a repeat positron emission tomography scan after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy therapy for overall staging, which was 26 days after last dose of radiotherapy (area under the curve, diagonal line, 0.88).

Fig 4 Receiver operating characteristic curve (black line) with 95% confidence intervals (gray lines) shows the optimal time to perform a repeat positron emission tomography scan after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy for N2 restaging, which was 29 days after the last dose of radiotherapy (area under the curve, diagonal line, 0.82). All 97 patients with IIIa (N2) disease had biopsy-proven N2 nodes and then underwent rebiopsy or removal of the same node after neoadjuvant therapy.
