High-SUVmax on FDG-PET indicates pleomorphic subtype in epithelioid malignant pleural mesothelioma: Supportive evidence to reclassify pleomorphic as non-epithelioid histology

BACKGROUND: We have recently proposed to reclassify the pleomorphic subtype of epithelioid malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) as non-epithelioid (biphasic/sarcomatoid) histology due to its similarly poor prognosis. We sought to investigate whether preoperative maximum standardized uptake value (SU...
