Abstract

BACKGROUND: To investigate the usefulness of (18)F-fluorodeoxy glucose-positron emission tomography ((18)F-FDG PET) for the preoperative imaging diagnosis of malignant grade in thymic epithelial tumors (TETs) and the correlation between the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) and tumor size in TETs. METHODS: We retrospectively investigated 51 patients with TETs performed (18)F-FDG PET. The SUVmax was compared between thymic carcinomas and thymomas. We also evaluated the difference in the SUVmax limited to small TETs. In addition, the correlation between the SUVmax and the tumor size was evaluated. RESULTS: The mean SUVmax of thymic carcinomas (n=12) and thymomas (n=39) was 5.71±2.6 and 3.08±1.4, respectively. The SUVmax of thymic carcinomas was significantly higher than that of thymomas (P

Abstract

Although there is a rough unified recommendation for the management of chest drainage tubes after major lung resection for lung cancer (1,2), there is no firm guideline. Therefore, in actuality, each general thoracic surgeon manages patients’ chest tubes based on their experience and the results of small-scale studies (3-5).
