This study aimed to investigate the prognostic prediction of germline BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations by comparing the maximum standardized uptake value (SUV max ) obtained from 18 fluoride-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography ( 18 F-FDG PET/CT), which is considered a prognostic factor in breast cancer (BC).
