TI  - INVESTIGATION OF 18F-FDG PET / CT AND CLINICOPATHOLOGICAL DATA OF DIFFUSE TYPE GASTRIC CANCERS
AB  - Objective: One of the subtypes of stomach cancer, which is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths, is diffuse-type stomach cancer. In our study, it was aimed to retrospectively investigate the results of F-18-labeled fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography, which is an imaging method frequently used in the diagnosis and follow-up of gastric cancer, in diffuse type gastric cancer subtypes and to review patient data in the light of the literatüreMaterial and Methods: Forty-four patients diagnosed with diffuse-type gastric cancer in a single center were included in the study. Clinical, pathological and positron emission tomography data of the patients were analyzed.Results: The mean age of the patients was 61.93. Sixteen (36.4%) of the patients were female, 28 (63.5%) were male. When the histopathological results of specimens obtained by endoscopic and surgical methods are examined, diffuse-type stomach cancer patients; 36 (81.8%) were Signet-Ring Cell, 8 (18.2%) were weak poorly cohesive type gastric cancer. Low F-18-labeled fluorodeoxyglucose involvement was observed in 8 (18.2%) patients, while high involvement was observed in 36 (81.8%). Nineteen of the patients had metastases. When SUVmax, SUVmean, metabolic tumor volume and total lesion glycolysis values were compared, a significant correlation was found between signet ring cell gastric cancers and weak cohesive type gastric cancers, and between presence and absence of metastasis (p <0.05).Conclusion: Although SUVmax values were lower in our diffuse type gastric cancer patient series compared to other gastric cancer patients, it was observed that it was higher in advanced diffuse type gastric cancers than in early stage patients. In addition, when the diffuse type gastric cancer subtypes signet-ring cell and weak poorly cohesive type gastric cancers were compared in terms of positron emission tomography results, it was observed that there was no significant difference, and this is an information that is not available in the literature.
