F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) has become an important staging tool for patients with lung cancer, and determination of the standardized uptake value (SUV) is probably the most widely used method for evaluating patients. Although SUV is recognized as a powerful surrogate marker for lung cancer outcomes, SUV standardization and reproducibility in clinical practice remain major concerns. The aim of this study was to evaluate the corrected SUV as a universal marker for lung cancer recurrence.
