1 Absence of a Relationship between Tumor 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose Standardized Uptake Value and Survival in Patients Treated with Definitive Radiotherapy for Non– Small-Cell Lung Cancer  Ming-Yin Lin, BMedSci, MBBS, Muzo Wu, MD, MS, Sinead Brennan, MB, BAO, BCh, MRCPI, FFR, RCSI, Marie-Pierre Campeau, MD, David Sidney Binns, ANMT, Michael MacManus, MB, BAO, BCh, MRCP, RCSI, MD, FRANZCR, Benjamin Solomon, MBBS, PhD, FRACP, Rodney J. Hicks, MBBS, MD, FRACP, Richard John Fisher, MBBS, PhD, David Lee Ball, MBBS, MD, FRANZCR  Journal of Thoracic Oncology  Volume 9, Issue 3, Pages (March 2014) DOI: /JTO Copyright © 2014 International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer Terms and Conditions

2 FIGURE 2 Smoothed relationship between SUVmax (ranked) and relative risk of progression or death. SUVmax, standardized uptake value maximum. Journal of Thoracic Oncology 2014 9, DOI: ( /JTO ) Copyright © 2014 International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer Terms and Conditions

3 FIGURE 1 Kaplan–Meir survival curves by SUVmax. A, Dichotomized according to median cut point = B, Using quartile cut points. Q1, smallest 25% of SUVmax; Q2, second smallest; Q3, third smallest; Q4, top 25% of SUVmax. SUVmax, standardized uptake value maximum; HR, hazard ratio; CI, confidence interval; RT, radiotherapy.
