Is variable 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake in gastric cancer associated with different levels of GLUT-1 expression?
FDG uptake in gastric cancer depends on GLUT-1 expression. One major reason for low FDG uptake in signet-ring cell carcinoma is the low GLUT-1 expression in this histological subtype of gastric cancer.
Although recurrence rates are high, surgical resection for solitary HCC offers good overall survival. Tumor size was not a prognostic factor. Solitary large HCC >10 cm would be a good candidate for hepatectomy as well as solitary HCC between 5 and 10 cm.
