e22010 Background: Tumor hipoxia induces the up-regulation of several genes via the hipoxia-inducible transcription factors (HIF) 1 and 2. HIF-2 alpha (HIF-2 α) and HIF-1 alpha (HIF-1α) are associated with the prognosis of operable NSCLC patients. We studied the immunohistochemical expression of HIF-1α and HIF-2 α in patients with NSCLC and the possible correlation with the maximum standardised uptake value (max SUV) of 18F-FDG as well as other biological parameters. Methods: We used a Tissue Arrayer device (Beecher Instruments. WI) to construct a TMA block, according to conventional protocols for the study of immunohistochemical expression of HIF-1α, HIF-2 α, EGFR, bcl-2, MIB1, p16, p63 and cyclins A, B1, D1 and D3. Sections were scored as positive if >10% of cells stained positively. Staining patterns were correlated to clinical variables. Results: HIF- 1α expression was observed in 84/96 patients (34/39 adenocarcinomas and 50/57 squamous cell carcinomas), however it did not correlate with clinical stage (I-II: 41/45 vs III-IV: 44/51). HIF-1α correlated positively with HIF-2 α (p:0,001) and EGFR (p:<0,001) expressions. The maxSUV values of 18F-FDG-PET were higher (p:0,039) in HIF-1α -positive (17,1±8,6) than in negative tumors (11,8±4,4). HIF-2 α expression was observed in 60/103 cases (27/42 adenocarcinomas and 33/61 squamous cell carcinomas) and it did not correlate with clinical stage ((I-II: 28/45 vs III-IV: 32/57). HIF-2 α correlated positively with HIF-1α (p:0,001), MIB1 (p:0,045) and EGFR (p:0,091) expressions. After multivariate analysis, only the clinical stage (RR: 2,2) was a prognostic factor. Conclusions: 1) HIF-1α and HIF-2 α expressions are frequent in patients with NSCLCs and it did not correlate with clinical stage; 2) maxSUVs FDG-PET values were higher in HIF1alpha positive than in HIF-1α negative patients; 3) HIF-1α was correlated with EGFR expression, while HIF-2 α was correlated with MIB1 expression.

Introduction. The aim of this paper is to compare the diagnostic accuracy of PET/CT, PET/MRI, and the combination of PET/CT and MRI for detecting synchronous cancer and distant metastasis in patients with oropharyngeal and hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas (OHSCC). Method. A large and growing body of literature has been conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews (PRISMA). The researchers collected all accessible literature existing through Cochrane Library (John Wiley & Sons) electronic databases, Embase (Elsevier), PubMed (U.S. National Library of Medicine), Scopus, and Google Scholar up to June 2020. Analyses were conducted using Stata version 12.0 (StataCorp LP). Results. A total of nine studies consisting of 1166 patients were included. The pooled sensitivity of combined PET/CT with MRI, 18F-FDG PET/MRI, and 18F-FDG PET/CT was 0.92, 0.80, and 0.79, respectively, and the corresponding specificities were 0.93, 0.91, and 0.88. The overall prevalence of distant metastases and synchronous cancer in patients with oropharyngeal and hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas was 9.2% and 11.8%, respectively, with the esophagus (4.6%) being the most common site of synchronous cancer. The most common sites of distant metastases were lung (3%), bone (1.2%), and distant lymph nodes (1.2%), respectively. Conclusion. Our study showed an approximately similar diagnostic performance for PET/CT, PET/MRI, and the combination of PET/CT and MRI for metastasis assessment in advanced oropharyngeal and hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas.

Background Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is a common cancer. Positron emission tomography (PET) with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) is a widely used imaging modality in HNSCC. Purpose To provide evident data about associations between 18F-FDG PET and histopathology in HNSCC. Material and Methods The MEDLINE database was screened for associations between maximum standard uptake values (SUVmax) derived from 18F-FDG PET and histopathological features in HNSCC up to May 2020. Only papers containing correlation coefficients between SUVmax and histopathology were acquired. Overall, 23 publications were collected. Results The following correlations were calculated: KI 67: 12 studies (345 patients), pooled correlation coefficient (PCC): 0.23 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.06–0.40); hypoxia-inducible factor-1α: eight studies (240 patients), PCC: 0.24 (95% CI 0.06–0.42); microvessel density: three studies (64 patients), PCC: 0.33 (95% CI 0.02–0.65); vascular endothelial growth factor: two studies (59 cases), PCC: 0.27 (95% CI 0.02–0.51); tumor suppressor protein p53: four studies (159 patients), PCC: 0.05 (95% CI –0.41 to 0.51); epidermal growth factor receptor: two studies (124 patients), PCC: 0.21 (95% CI 0.05–0.37); tumor cell count: three studies (67 patients), PCC: 0.18 (95% CI –0.06 to 0.42); tumor cell apoptosis: two studies (40 patients), PCC: 0.07 (95% CI = –0.85 to 0.99); B-cell lymphoma-2 protein: two studies (118 patients); PCC: 0.04 (95% CI –0.65 to 0.74); glucose-transporter 1: 10 studies (317 patients), PCC: 0.20 (95% CI 0.10–0.30). Conclusion SUVmax derived from 18F-FDG PET cannot reflect relevant histopathological features in HNSCC.
