Abstract
One of the most important and long recognized characteristics of tumor cells is their dysregulated cellular energetics with anaerobic driven glucose uptake. In patients with cancer, the prognostic value of the systemic inflammatory response has been well established, and the recent combination of PET and CT scanning combines the assessment of tumor physiologic activity with detailed anatomic localization. The aim of this study was to perform a systematic review of the assessment of the relationship between both the tumor and the host inflammatory responses using PET/CT. Methods: An extensive literature review using targeted subject headings was performed in the U.S. National Library of Medicine, the Excerpta Medica database, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews on March 31, 2018. On completion of the online search, the title and abstracts of each identified study were examined for relevance. Studies with duplicate datasets, not available in English, and that did not have full text availability were excluded. Full texts of relevant articles were obtained and were then examined to identify any further relevant articles. Results: Twelve studies containing 2,588 patients were included in the final analysis. All of the included studies used the 18F-FDG tracer in PET/CT imaging and had biochemical assessment of the systemic inflammatory response. Most studies showed a direct relationship between the tumor and bone marrow glucose uptake and host systemic inflammatory responses as measured by C-reactive protein (n = 2), albumin (n = 2), white cell count (n = 3), neutrophils (n = 2), and platelets (n = 2). Most of the studies (n = 8) also showed a direct relationship between tumor and bone marrow glucose uptake and poor outcomes. Conclusion: This review suggests a direct relationship between the tumor and bone marrow glucose uptake and host systemic inflammation. This may suggest new approaches for more optimal therapeutic targeting and monitoring strategies in patients with cancer.
