LouT Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Kelvin, A reading of 13.1 would indicate a value well outside of the "normal range" and worthy of additional testing. Of course the final determinant in the diagnosis path would be a biopsy to determine the exact nature of the cells and any if any biomarkers are present to aid in applying the most effective treatments. In my case my measurement from a PET Scan was 2.54SUV and that was considered near normal, but inconclusive. At the end of the day I had NSCLC Squamos that was treated with surgery. So, even a low reading does not indicate accurately cancer or not cancer. All tests need to be taken together. Lou Tom Galli 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pstar Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Kelvin, My right upper lobe nodule was SUV of 8.7 and right hilar adenopathy was SUV of 13.4. Pam LouT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judy M2 Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Back at my diagnosis in October 2019, SUV in my LLL tumor was originally 9.9, and the lymph nodes were 8.2. Interestingly, after I had a bulk Teflon injection into my paralyzed left vocal cord, the SUV increased from 4.8 to 6.2. I still have paramediastinal airspace opacity, probably from radiation. SUV is stable at 2.5. LouT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LouT Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Kelvin, Just to restate; your mom's numbers require further diagnosis. They would seem to indicate potential cancer. The biopsy will be the final determinant and I pray for the best outcome possible. Lou Tom Galli 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
