The significance of F-18-2-deoxy-2-fluoro-glucose positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography imaging (FDG-PET/CT) in the diagnosis of gastric cancer remains controversial. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of preoperative FDG-PET/CT in staging of gastric cancer. FDG-PET/CT results for 90 patients with gastric cancer were retrospectively examined. For quantitative PET analysis, FDG uptake was assessed based on the maximum standardized uptake values (SUVmax). FDG-PET/CT detected the primary gastric cancer in 71 of the 90 patients (sensitivity 78.9 %). The median SUVmax was significantly higher in patients with T3/T4 disease than in those with T1/T2 (9.0 vs. 3.8; P < 0.001), in patients with distant metastasis than in those with no metastasis (9.5 vs. 7.7; P = 0.018), and with stage III/IV tumors than in those with stage I/II (9.0 vs. 4.7; P = 0.017). The SUVmax of the primary tumor was significantly correlated with tumor size (r = 0.461, P < 0.001). The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of FDG-PET/CT in assessing metastasis to regional lymph nodes were 64.5, 85.7, and 71.1 %, respectively. FDG-PET/CT results are significantly associated with tumor progression in gastric cancer, and such findings can reliably identify cancer cell populations.
