| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We showed a significantly higher 18F-FDG uptake in gingival cancer with jaw bone invasion than in tongue cancer, and clarified the characteristics of 18F-FDG uptake in comparison with 18F or 11C - choline uptake. PET with 18F-FDG showed a higher SUV in gingival cancer with jaw bone invasion than tongue cancer. There are 2 possible explanations for this finding. One is the binding of 18F itself to hydroxyapatite. The other is 18F-FDG accumulation in bone metabolism-associated cells. However, despite 18F-choline uptake being comparable to 18F-FDG uptake in tongue cancer, 18F-choline uptake was similar between tongue cancer and gingival cancer with jaw bone metastasis. Therefore, the binding of 18F itself to hydroxyapatite may be slight. These results suggest that 18F-FDG, unlike 18F-choline, accumulates in not only tumor cells but also inflammation-associated cells and bone metabolism-associated cells such as osteoblasts and osteoclasts, resulting in an apparently high SUV.
