Abstract
Purpose: The clinical availability of 2-deoxy-2-[18F] fluoro-D-glucose (FDG) dual-time point positron emission tomography/computerized tomography (DTPP) has been investigated in diverse oncologic fields. The aim of this preliminary study was to evaluate the relationship between various immunohistopathologic markers reflecting disease progression of colorectal cancer and parameters extracted from FDG DTPP in colorectal cancer patients.

Materials and Methods: Forty-seven patients with histologically confirmed colorectal cancer were analyzed in this preliminary study. FDG DTPP consisted of an early scan 1 h after FDG injection and a delayed scan 1.5 h after the early scan. Based on an analysis of FDG DTPP, we estimated the maximum standardized uptake value (SUV) of tumors on the early and delayed scans (SUVearly and SUVdelayed, respectively). The retention index (RI) was calculated as follows: (SUVdelayed - SUVearly) ¡¿ 100/ SUVearly. The clinicopathological findings (size and T and N stages) and immunohistochemical factors [glucose transporter 1 (GLUT-1), hexokinase 2 (HK-2), p53, P504S, and ¥â-catenin] were analyzed by visual analysis.

Results: The RIs calculated from the SUVs ranged from -1.8 to 73.4 (31.8?¡¾?15.5). The RIs were significantly higher in patients with high T stages (T3 and T4) than with low T stages (T1 and T2; p?
Conclusion: The RIs obtained from preoperative colorectal cancers had a significant relationship to tumor size, T staging, GLUT-1, and p53, in contrast to SUVearly or SUVdelayed. Compared with previous reports, our results showed that RI can better predict GLUT-1 expression than HK-2 and other immunohistochemical markers. This study demonstrated that the RI might have the potential to be applied as a prognostic marker in preoperative colorectal cancer.
