【 摘 要 】
Backgrounds: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the prognostic value of fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG PET/CT) parameters in patients treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) for locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC). Methods: Studies that met the following criteria were retrieved from PubMed and Embase: patients treated with CCRT for LACC; FDG PET/CT scans performed before CCRT treatment; and a detected relationship between the parameters of FDG PET/CT and the prognosis of patients. Pooled hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to estimate the overall survival (OS) or event-free survival (EFS). Results: In total, 14 eligible studies with 1313 patients were included in this meta-analysis. Patients with a high maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) have a shorter OS than those with a low SUVmax (HR = 2.582, 95% = CI 1.936–3.443, p < 0.001). Primary tumor SUVmax values (HR = 1.938, 95% CI = 1.203–3.054, p = 0.004) were significantly correlated with EFS, with a relatively high heterogeneity (I2 = 84% and I2 = 69.4%, respectively). Based on the limited data, the combined HR for EFS with the highest primary tumor total lesion glycolysis (TLG) and metabolic tumor volume (MTV) was 1.843 (95% CI = 1.100–3.086, p = 0.02) and 2.06 (95% CI = 1.21–3.51, p = 0.007), respectively. Besides, the combined HR for OS with the highest nodal SUVmax was 2.095 (95% CI = 2.027–2.166, p < 0.001). Conclusion: A high primary SUVmax has a significant correlation with the OS and EFS of patients treated with CCRT for LACC and may therefore serve as a prognostic predictor. Due to the limited data, to explore the correlation between survival and TLG, MTV, and nodal SUVmax, further large-scale prospective studies are needed.【 授权许可】
