  • * Log (odds ratio).

  • Total score.

  • +ve = positive; –ve = negative.

  • Score was obtained from odds ratio of clinicopathologic parameters significantly associated with 18F-FDG avidity from systematic literature review. Sixteen different combinations of parameters including GLUT1 status with combined score ranging from 0 to 8.05 were used.
