Abstract

Objective: To study the role of 18FDG-PET/CT in assessing lymph node metastasis in patients with non-small cell lung cancer who are indicated for radical surgery. Subjects and methods: Descriptive prospective study on 82 non-small cell lung cancer patients scheduled for radical surgery at Hanoi Oncology Hospital from April 2022 to March 2023. Results: 75/82 (91.4%) patients had a diagnosis of (+) lymph nodes on 18FDG PET/CT consistent with the pathological diagnosis results after surgery. 18FDG PET/CT diagnosed (+) lymph nodes in the study patient group with a sensitivity of Se = 75%; Specificity 98%; positive predictive value 85.7%, negative predictive value 97%; 96% accuracy.
