OBJECTIVE: To investigate the positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) findings of T1/T2N0M0 glottic cancer (hereafter referred to as T1/T2) and dose distribution in radiotherapy.
SUBJECTS AND METHODS: We retrospectively collected data from patients diagnosed with T1/T2N0M0 glottic cancer who received radiotherapy. The extent of fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) accumulation in primary tumors, maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax), total lesion glycolysis (TLG), tumor volume of primary tumors on PET/CT were compared. Furthermore, the tumor identified on PET/CT was incorporated into the radiotherapy plans. A dummy plan (radiation field 6x6cm, prescription point facing the vertebral body, maximum dose ≤107%, T1/T2 66Gy/33 fractions) was developed for three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy, and the dose distribution of primary tumors was calculated.
RESULTS: Twenty-nine patients (27 men and two women) were included; their mean age was 67.2±15.0 years. Increased 18F-FDG accumulation in primary tumors was observed on PET/CT in 22/29 (78.5%; T1: 14/21 [67%], T2: 8/8 [100%]) patients. The median SUVmax, TLG, and primary tumor volume were significantly different between T1 and T2 (SUVmax, T1: 4.56 vs. T2: 8.43, P=0.035; TLG, T1: 1.01 vs. T2: 3.71 SUVxmL, P<0.01; primary tumor volume, T1: 0.38mL vs. T2: 0.80mL, P=0.01). At a TLG cut-off value of 3.470, the area under the curve was 0.875, sensitivity was 0.875, and specificity was 0.929 for T1-T2 differentiation. In 20 patients with 18F-FDG accumulation, the minimum radiation dose was significantly different between T1 and T2 (66Gy vs. 64Gy, P<0.01) at the same 66Gy prescription. The minimum radiation dose and primary tumor volume show the correlation value (r=-0.516, P=0.02).
CONCLUSION: In glottic cancer, T1 and T2 can be differentiated by the extent of 18F-FDG accumulation in primary tumors on PET/CT. The minimum radiation dose rate decreases as volume increases.
