Abstract:
AIM:The aim of this study was to analyze the lung cancer detection rate in asymptomatic individuals by the Fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography FDG-PET cancer screening program in Japan. MATERIALS AND METHODS:A total of 153,775 asymptomatic individuals underwent the FDG-PET cancer screening program; the 854 cases with findings that indicated suspected lung cancer by any detection method were analyzed. RESULTS:Among the 854 cases, 319 were verified as lung cancer. The relative sensitivity and positive predictive value (PPV) of FDG-PET were 86.5% and 38.9% for lung cancer, respectively. The sensitivity of PET/computed tomography (CT) scanner was higher than that of dedicated PET (100.0% vs. 63.2%), indicating that CT imaging was effective for lung cancer screening. The majority of lung carcinomas detected by FDG-PET screening were UICC stage IA or IB, but detection of smaller or less invasive carcinomas was limited. CONCLUSION:The FDG-PET screening program in Japan detected lung cancer at an early stage.
