Baseline fluorodeoxyglucose PET/computed tomography volumetric parameters predict response to transarterial radioembolization in primary and metastatic liver tumors

Key Points

To evaluate how baseline volumetric metabolic parameters predict treatment response to transarterial radioembolization in liver tumors.
Assessed baseline volumetric metabolic parameters using PET/CT scans.
Focused on parameters like MTV and TLG.
Compared the predictive value in primary versus metastatic liver tumors.
MTV and TLG showed significant association with treatment response.
Stronger predictive value observed in primary liver tumors compared to metastatic tumors.

Abstract

Baseline volumetric metabolic parameters, particularly MTV and TLG, are associated with treatment response following TARE, with stronger predictive value in primary liver tumors. These findings suggest a potential role for volumetric tumor burden in treatment stratification.
