Abstract

Objective: Study on 18FDG-PET/CT imaging characteristics of lesions in stomach cancer before treatment. Methods: Retrospective study, descriptive analysis on 36 stomach cancer patients undergoing PET/CT before treatment at Military Hospital 103 from March 2021 to August 2022. Results: 36 patients with stomach cancer from March 2021 to August 2022. The mean tumor thickness was 16.5±7.69, the mean SUVmax of the tumor with a thickness of over 15mm was higher than that of a tumor with a thickness of less than 15mm, p<0.05. The average SUVmax tumor of bowel type was higher than that of diffuse type, p<0.05. There was no statistically significant difference in SUVmax value by stage T. After 8FDG PET/CT, stage N0 accounted for 47.22%, stage N1 accounted for 11.11%, stage N2 accounted for 13.89% , stage N3 accounted for 27.78%. There was no statistically significant difference in SUVmax by stage N. The highest SUVmax of metastatic lesions was 10.96±4.45 on average. The liver is the most common site of distant metastasis with the rate of 13.89%. There were 2 patients with distant metastases in 2 organs (5.56%). The mean SUVmax tumor value of patient group M1 was 14.97±8.12 higher than that of patient group M0 was 10.69±8.2, p>0.05.
