The purpose of this study was to evaluate the Pathological Diagnosis associated with pSUV uptake of $^{18}F$ ¼ö½Ä À̹ÌÁö-FDG PET/CT. We had enrolled 39 women that underwent $^{18}F$ ¼ö½Ä À̹ÌÁö-FDG PET/CT before operative. We evaluated whether there was correlation between the pSUV of $^{18}F$ ¼ö½Ä À̹ÌÁö-FDG PET/CT and prognostic factors. As a results, pSUV level increase according to tumor size but pSUV had no significant association with tumor size. pSUV of high histologic grade was higher than low histologic grade, and pSUV showed positive correlations with histologic grade. The ER and PR showed significant negative correlations with the pSUV of $^{18}F$ ¼ö½Ä À̹ÌÁö-FDG PET/CT. Therefore, our results demonstrated that an correlation exists between pSUV and prognostic factors such as histologic grade, ER and PR.
