Item Correlation between 18F-FDG Positron-Emission Tomography 18F-FDG Uptake Levels at Diagnosis and Histopathologic and Immunohistochemical Factors in Patients with Breast Cancer(AVES, 2016-01-01) Ugurluer, Gamze; Yavuz, Sinan; Calikusu, Zuleyha; Seyrek, Ertugrul; Kibar, Mustafa; Serin, Meltem; Ersoz, Canan; Demircan, OrhanObjective: In this study, we aimed to determine the correlation between pretreatment-staging 18F-FDG total body positron-emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) levels and histopathologic and immunohistochemical predictive and prognostic factors in patients with breast cancer. Materials and Methods: One hundred thirty-nine women with breast cancer who were treated between 2009 and 2015 at our hospital and who had pretreatment-staging PET/CT were included in the study. SUVmax levels and histopathologic and immunohistochemical results were compared. Results: The median age was 48 years (range, 29-79 years). The mean tumor diameter was 33.4 mm (range, 7-120 mm). The histology was invasive ductal carcinoma in 80.6\% of the patients. In the univariate analysis, SUVmax levels were significantly higher in patients with invasive ductal carcinoma
