The article from Shimizu and colleagues [1] is a retrospective comparison of the degree of fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake on preoperative positron emission tomography to tumor expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), Ki-67, vascular endothelial growth factor, epidermal growth factor receptor, insulin-like growth factor receptor, and platelet-derived growth factor receptor by immunohistochemical analysis in a cohort of 60 resected lung adenocarcinomas smaller than 3 cm. A significant correlation was found between maximum SUV uptake (SUV_max) and the expression of both COX-2 and Ki-67, with the strongest association between SUV_max and . . .
