Popis: Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate, using PET/computed tomography (CT), changes in liver metabolic activity in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT). Patients and methods A total of 29 biopsy-proven LARC patients between 2009 and 2012 were studied. Liver standardized uptake values (SUVs) and SUVs adjusted for lean body mass (SULs) were obtained from PET/CT images obtained at 1 h (early) and 2 h (late) after 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) administration both before and after neoadjuvant CRT. Age, sex, BMI, lean body mass, blood glucose level, and 18F-FDG dose, which can influence liver SUVs and SULs, were also analyzed. Results Fourteen (48%) men and 15 (52%) women with a mean age of 62±11 years (range 34-80 years) were included in the study. The mean SUVs and SULs were significantly decreased in the late scans. Sex was significantly correlated with the mean liver SUV in early and late scans. The mean SUV differed significantly between male and female patients in early and late images (P
