Abstract To evaluate the prognostic significance of the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), establish a gene signature that correlates with SUVmax, and explore the underlying biological behaviors associated with these correlations for the prediction of clinical outcomes. A cohort of 726 patients with NPC was examined to identify correlations between SUVmax and various clinical variables. RNA sequencing was performed to identify genes related to SUVmax, and these genes were used to develop an SUV signature. Additionally, transcriptome enrichment analysis was conducted to investigate the potential biological behaviors underlying the observed correlations. Higher SUVmax was associated with an increased tumor burden and worse prognosis. The SUV signature, which consisted of 10 genes, was positively correlated with SUVmax, and it predicted worse survival outcomes. This signature was highly expressed in malignant epithelial cells and associated with hypoxia and resistance to radiotherapy. Additionally, the signature was negatively correlated with immune function. SUVmax is a valuable prognostic indicator in NPC, with higher values predicting worse outcomes. The SUV signature offers further prognostic insights, linking glucose metabolism to tumor aggressiveness, treatment resistance, and immune function, and it could represent a potential biomarker for NPC. |
