In this study we evaluated the value of pre-operative glucose corrected maximum standard uptake value (GC-SUVmax) as prognostic factor in patients with early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after complete surgical resection.This study was designed as a retrospectively evaluated single center study with prospective data registry. Inclusion criteria were: histologically proven stage I NSCLC, 18F-FDG-PET/CT scan prior to surgery, complete resection (R0) and follow up in our outpatient department. Exclusion criteria were: history of malignancy other than NSCLC, diabetes and (neo) adjuvant therapy. Follow up period was 5 years.Between 2006 and 2008 a total of 33 patients (16 males, 17 females) met the inclusion criteria. SUVmax and GC-SUVmax were strongly correlated (Spearman's ρ = 0.97). Five-year overall survival (OS) rate was 70
