Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate correlations between the standardized uptake value of the biopsy site (BSUVmax) and levels of glucose transporter (GLUT)-1, GLUT-3 and hexokinase-II (HK-II), between BSUVmax and the Ki-67 proliferation index (MIB-1), and between BSUVmax and clinicopathological factors. Sixty-eight patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) were included in this study. BSUVmax was significantly correlated with GLUT-1, GLUT-3 and the International Prognostic Index (IPI) (GLUT-1: r = 0.584, IPI: r = 0.363, p < 0.001; GLUT-3: r = 0.369, p = 0.009; IPI: r = 0.363, p = 0.004), but not with MIB-1 and HK-II. A statistically significant correlation was observed between GLUT-3 expression and each of IPI and gene expression profiling (GEP) (IPI: p = 0.0186; GEP: p = 0.0179). 2-Deoxy-2-[(18)F]-fluoro-d-glucose (FDG) uptake was significantly correlated with the levels of GLUT-1 and GLUT-3 and with IPI. The results indicated that GLUT-3 expression is related to GEP and IPI, and that BSUVmax and GLUT-3 may have a relationship with the prognosis of DLBCL.Entities:
