    High FDG uptake on PET is associated with negative cell-to-cell adhesion molecule E-cadherin expression in lung adenocarcinoma

    E-cadherin is a main cell-to-cell adhesion molecule. A negative expression of E-cadherin correlates with distant metastasis in lung cancer. Recently, it was reported that there is an association between FDG up...

    Correlation of HIF-1α/HIF-2α expression with FDG uptake in lung adenocarcinoma

    Hypoxia is a key element involved in the development and progression of tumors. HIF-1α may transiently induce and mediate the response to acute and severe hypoxia, while HIF-2α may induce a longer response and...

    Assessment of VEGF-D expression measured by immunohistochemical staining and F-18 FDG uptake on PET as biological prognostic factors for recurrence in patients with surgically resected lung adenocarcinoma

    To assess whether the combined evaluation of vascular endothelial growth factor D (VEGF-D) expression and fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake correlates with lymph node metastasis and post-operative recurrence in ...
