Notes: age (years), age at diagnosis; SUVmax, the maximum standardized uptake value; max (min⁻¹), the maximum net influx constant of FDG from plasma into tissue; VOL_SUV40, tumor volume in cm³ calculated in SUV maps using the threshold of 40% SUVmax; , tumor volume in cm³ calculated in maps using the threshold of 37% max; TNM, tumor-node metastases stage by AJCC staging system; NED = no evidence of disease; AWD = alive with disease.
