[18F]FDG PET/CT volumetric biomarkers for non-invasive prediction of HER2 expression in breast cancer patients by Mai ELahmadawy, Heba Abdelhameed, Dina Gamal El-din, Mahitab Eltohamy, Adel Hassan, Salwa Abd El-Gaid

“…As regards Primary tumor MTV cutoff point, significant correlations were noted in respect to T-stage where 78.2% of the patients with primary tumor MTV ³12.75 were T3 and 4, compared to 66.6% of those with primary tumor MTV <12.75 were T1 and 2, P-value=0.011.Conclusion: PET-derived volumetrics may serve as non-invasive predictors of biological processes represented here as HER2 expression in breast cancer patients.…”
