evaluated 26 patients with RCC (19 with clear cell subtype and 7 with nonclear cell subtype) using 18 F-FDG-PET/CT and reported an average SUV of 3.9 for clear cell RCC and maximum SUV of 7.9 for nonclear cell RCC, and the difference was borderline significant.[ 6 ] Nakoda et al . found a faster metabolic rate in clear cell RCC compared to papillary RCC.[ 6 ] Bertagna et al . compared the relationship between histological subtype and PET/CT findings.
