Maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) on PET imaging is prognostic in cervical cancer. It was recently demonstrated that low pretreatment SUVmax is associated with superior prognosis and is correlated with decreased inflammatory signaling and myeloid-derived cell infiltration into the tumor microenvironment, potentially identifying susceptibility to targeted therapies.
