Figure 6From: Prognostic value of volumetric metabolic parameters measured by [18F]Fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography in patients with small cell lung cancer Kaplan–Meier curve for overall survival according to the sum of total lesion glycolysis (TLG) of malignant hypermetabolic intrathoracic lesions in limited disease (LD), which shows significantly worse outcomes in high TLG than in low TLG (median survival; 12.0 ± 1.3 months vs. 28.0 ± 4.0 months, P = 0.03).
