Abstract

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the prognostic prediction of germline BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations by comparing the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) obtained from (18)fluoride-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (F-18-FDG PET/CT), which is considered a prognostic factor in breast cancer (BC).
