Research Abstract |
Measuring Intra-tumor pressure(ITP) was performed for 176 lung cancer patients. Mean ITP was 8. 7±6. 3mmHg(0-37). 1) ITP showed significant relationship with maximal standardized uptake value on PET(r=0. 398) and tumor size(r=0. 326). 2) Lung cancer with metastatic node showed higher ITP than that without metastatic node(p=0. 005). ITP did not show relationship with apparent diffusion coefficient of MRI(r=0. 114).
