ABSTRACT
Objectives:
Lung cancer is still diagnosed at advanced stage and early treatment initiation is needed. Therefore, we need biomarkers or clusters of information that can provide early treatment prognosis.Methods:
Biopsies were acquired from 471 patients-lung masses with CT-guided biopsy, convex probe transthorasic biopsy, and EBUS-TBNA convex probe with 18 G needles and 19 G needles.Results:
Standardized uptake value (SUV) measurement is associated with female, smoking status, hepatic metastasis, adenocarcinoma and programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1). In specific we expect that SUV ≥ 7 is associated with PD-L1 ≥ 50.Conclusions:
Lung masses indifferent of size that have SUV ≥ 7 will also have PD-L1 expression ≥ 50. Also, it is likely that these patients will be female with intense smoking habit and hepar or multiple metastasis.Palabras clave
