The correlation between preoperative total lesion glycolysis and lymphovascular invasion based on 18F-FDG PET/CT and its predictive value in primary gastric cancer: a cross-sectional study
Preoperative TLG exhibits a positive linear correlation with the risk of LVI in primary gastric cancer. TLG shows high sensitivity for predicting LVI, making it a valuable imaging biomarker for assessing LVI risk in gastric cancer, especially in cLNM- but LVI+ patients.
