To assess the usefulness of FDG-PET for evaluating N-factor in small lung cancer, we focused the object to clinical T1N0 cases. Twenty-two patients were eligible for this study. Six of 22 patients were positive for nodal metastasis pathologically. FDG-PET could demonstrate 4 metastases among them. Although the limitation of FDG-PET was 5 false positive results in 16 pathologically NO patients, FDG-PET had excellent negative predictive value (85%) for evaluation of nodal status in small lung cancer.
