Abstract
Objective

To analyse the prognostic ability of the maximum standardised uptake value (SUVmax) on local disease control in patients with oropharyngeal carcinoma treated with radiotherapy.

Material and methods

Retrospective study of 105 patients with oropharyngeal carcinomas treated with radiotherapy, including chemo- and bio-radiotherapy, and who had a PET-CT scan prior to the start of treatment.

Result

Patients with a SUVmax value higher than 17.2 at the primary tumour site had a significantly higher risk of local recurrence. The 5-year local recurrence-free survival for patients with SUVmax less than or equal to 17.2 (n = 71) was 86.5% (95% CI 78.2–94.7 %), and for patients with SUVmax greater than 17.2 (n = 34) it was 55.8% (95% CI 36.0–75.6 %) (P = 0.0001). This difference in local control was maintained regardless of patients' HPV status. Specific survival was similarly lower for patients with a SUV greater than 17.2. The 5-year specific survival for patients with SUVmax greater than 17.2 was 39.5% (95% CI: 20.6–58.3 %), significantly shorter than that of patients with SUVmax equal to or less than 17.2, which was 77.3% (95% CI: 66.9–87.6 %) (P = 0.0001).

Conclusions

Patients with oropharyngeal carcinomas treated with radiotherapy with a SUVmax greater than 17.2 at the level of the primary tumour site had a significantly higher risk of local recurrence.

Resumen
Objetivo

Analizar la capacidad pronóstica del valor de captación estandarizado máximo (SUVmáx) en el control local de la enfermedad en pacientes con carcinomas de orofaringe tratados con radioterapia.

Material y métodos

Estudio retrospectivo de 105 pacientes con carcinomas de orofaringe tratados con radioterapia, incluyendo tratamientos con quimio y bio-radioterapia, y que contaron con una exploración PET-TC previa al inicio del tratamiento.

Resultado

Los pacientes con un valor del SUVmáx superior a 17,2 en la localización primaria del tumor tuvieron un riesgo significativamente más elevado de recidiva local. La supervivencia libre de recidiva local a los 5 años para los pacientes con un SUVmáx inferior o igual a 17,2 (n = 71) fue del 86,5% (IC 95%: 78,2–94,7%), y para los pacientes con un SUVmáx superior a 17,2 (n = 34) fue del 55,8% (IC 95%: 36,0–75,6%) (P = 0,0001). Esta diferencia en control local se mantuvo independientemente de estatus VPH de los pacientes. La supervivencia específica fue igualmente inferior para los pacientes con un SUV superior a 17,2. La supervivencia específica a los 5 años para los pacientes con un SUVmáx superior a 17,2 fue del 39,5% (IC 95%: 20,6–58,3%), significativamente más reducida que la de los pacientes con SUVmáx igual o inferior a 17,2, que fue del 77,3% (IC 95%: 66,9–87,6%) (P = 0,0001).

Conclusiones

Los pacientes con carcinomas de orofaringe tratados con radioterapia con un SUVmáx superior a 17,2 a nivel de la localización primaria del tumor tuvieron un riesgo significativamente más elevado de recidiva local.
