The glucose metabolism of 62 meningiomas was measured by fluorine -18-2-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET and correlated with proliferation rate (Ki-67 index) and tumor cellularity. The mean metabolic rate (MRGlu) for meningiomas was 0.26 +/- 0.13 mikromol/g/min (range 0.08-0.62 mikromol/g/min). The relative tumor FDG-uptake (Q-MRGlu) (tumor/contralateral cortex) of all meningiomas was calculated with 0.73 +/- 0.37 (0.24-1.79). Differences of Q-MRGlu were significant between the groups with high vs. low cellularity (p < 0.01), increased vs. normal proliferation rate (p < 0.025) and low (WHO grade I) vs. higher (WHO grades II, III) graded tumors. In recurrent meningiomas (14 tumors) the glucose metabolism was not increased. The data show that 18 FDG-PET is suitable to serve as non-invasive predictor of tumor growth characteristics in meningiomas.
通过氟-18-2-氟脱氧葡萄糖(FDG)PET测量62例脑膜瘤的葡萄糖代谢,并将其与增殖率(Ki-67指数)和肿瘤细胞密度相关联。脑膜瘤的平均代谢率(MRGlu)为0.26±0.13微摩尔/克/分钟(范围0.08 - 0.62微摩尔/克/分钟)。所有脑膜瘤的相对肿瘤FDG摄取(Q-MRGlu)(肿瘤/对侧皮质)经计算为0.73±0.37(0.24 - 1.79)。高细胞密度组与低细胞密度组(p < 0.01)、增殖率增加组与正常增殖率组(p < 0.025)以及低分级(WHO I级)与高分级(WHO II、III级)肿瘤组之间的Q-MRGlu差异具有统计学意义。在复发性脑膜瘤(14例肿瘤)中,葡萄糖代谢未增加。数据表明,18 FDG-PET适合作为脑膜瘤肿瘤生长特征的非侵入性预测指标。
