Abstract Objective: To discuss whether early change in maximum standard uptake value(SUVmax) of 18F-flurodeoxy glucose using positron emission tomography with computed tomography(18F-FDG PET/CT) can predict pathologic complete response(pCR) of primary breast to neoadjuvant chemotherapy(NAC). Methods: 61 women with primary breast cancer underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT scanning at baseline, after the first and second course of NAC. The changes of SUVmax were calulated(ΔSUVmax1% and ΔSUVmax2%). Surgery was performed for all patients for pCR evaluation. Receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curves were used to assess the pCR predicting ability of ΔSUVmax1% and ΔSUVmax2%. Results: The pCR group had a greater decline in SUVmax than the non-pCR group(all P=0.001) after the first and second course of NAC. Under the ROC curves, the best prediction effect of ΔSUVmax1% was 40.5%(sensitivity 85.7%, specificity 67.7%), the best prediction effect of ΔSUVmax2% was 56.5%(sensitivity 84.6%, specificity 57.1%), respectively. The respective area under the ROC curves(AUC) for ΔSUVmax1% and ΔSUVmax2% in the prediction of pCR were 0.867 and 0.820(P=0.003,0.001), but the differences of AUCs between ΔSUVmax1% and ΔSUVmax2% were not significant in predicting pCR. ΔSUVmax1% and ΔSUVmax2% were significantly useful for differentiating pCR from non-pCR in Luminal subtype(P=0.041, 0.005). For non-Luminal subtype, ΔSUVmax1% of pCR group was significantly different from that in non-pCR group(P=0.012), but ΔSUVmax2% was not significantly different between the two groups(P=0.100). Conclusion: Early changes in SUVmax of 18F-FDG PET/CT scanning after first or second cycles of NAC could predict pCR in breast cancer effectively and guide clinical individualized treatment. Only ΔSUVmax1% was efficiently predictive of pCR in non-Luminal subtype.
