Diagnostic and prognostic role of 18F-FDG PET/CT for sarcomatoid differentiation in renal cell carcinoma.
Background: Sarcomatoid differentiation is an invasive dedifferentiated feature of tumor and associated with poor prognosis in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients. This study aimed to evaluate the utility of 18F-FDG PET/CT in predicting sarcomatoid differentiation in RCC and its potential prognostic value.
Results: This retrospective study assessed newly diagnosed sarcomatoid differentiation renal cell carcinoma (SDRCC) patients who were staged using 18F-FDG PET/CT. Patients were categorized into high-grade sarcomatoid differentiation RCC (HG-SDRCC), low-grade sarcomatoid differentiation RCC (LG-SDRCC), and non-sarcomatoid differentiation RCC (non-SDRCC). The maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax), mean standardized uptake value (SUVmean), metabolic tumor volume (MTV), and total lesion glycolysis (TLG) were compared. Overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were analyzed. SUVmax, MTV, TLG, and SUVmean values were significantly higher in SDRCC compared to non-SDRCC (P < 0.05). Additionally, SUVmax, TLG, and SUVmean were significantly higher in HG-SDRCC compared to non-HG-SDRCC (P < 0.05). ROC curves revealed that SUVmax and SUVmean were effective for distinguishing HG-SDRCC from non-HG-SDRCC. The log-rank test identified SUVmax > 11, MTV > 95, TLG > 500, SUVmean > 5.2, invasion of peripheral tissue and/or organs, and metastasis as risk factors for SDRCC patients. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards model analyses indicated that TLG > 500 was a risk factor for poor DFS, while SUVmax > 11 and SUVmean > 5.2 were risk factors for poor OS.
Conclusions: 18F-FDG PET/CT can effectively differentiate HG-SDRCC with more aggressive malignancy. The prognostic model developed in this study demonstrates that metabolic parameters, particularly TLG for DFS and SUVmax/SUVmean for OS, serve as more robust predictors of patient outcomes than the degree of sarcomatoid differentiation.

期刊介绍:
EJNMMI Research publishes new basic, translational and clinical research in the field of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging. Regular features include original research articles, rapid communication of preliminary data on innovative research, interesting case reports, editorials, and letters to the editor. Educational articles on basic sciences, fundamental aspects and controversy related to pre-clinical and clinical research or ethical aspects of research are also welcome. Timely reviews provide updates on current applications, issues in imaging research and translational aspects of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging technologies.
The main emphasis is placed on the development of targeted imaging with radiopharmaceuticals within the broader context of molecular probes to enhance understanding and characterisation of the complex biological processes underlying disease and to develop, test and guide new treatment modalities, including radionuclide therapy.
