Purpose: Neuroblastoma is a solid malignant tumor with high malignancy and high risk for metastasis. The prognosis of neuroblastoma ranges from spontaneous regression to insensitivity to therapies and widespread metastasis. There is a non-invasive, panoramic imaging technique called F-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (F-18-FDG) positron emission tomography- computed tomography (PET/CT), which can provide both complete anatomical information via CT and extent of FDG uptake value in tumors via positron emission detection. PET/CT is a powerful approach to estimating tumoral metabolic activities, and PET/CT parameters have been demonstrated to be associated with the prognosis of various tumors. However, the predictive performance of PET/CT for the prognosis of neuroblastoma remains unclear. This meta-analysis aims to assess the predictive values of maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax), metabolic tumor volume (MTV), and total lesion glycolysis (TLG) for progression-free survival (PFS), event-free survival (EFS), and overall survival (OS) in neuroblastoma patients. Methods: Literature in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science from January 1985 to June 2023 was searched for studies evaluating predictive values of PET/CT parameters for the prognosis of neuroblastoma. Search items mainly included "Positron Emission Tomography Computed Tomography" and "Neuroblastoma". Hazard ratio (HR) was used as a pooled statistic to assess the association of SUVmax, MTV, and TLG with PFS, EFS, and OS in neuroblastoma patients. Heterogeneity test and sensitivity analysis were performed. Results: There were eight studies included, with 325 participants. Meta-analysis showed that higher SUVmax was associated with shorter OS [HR = 1.27, 95% CI (1.11, 1.45), p = 0.001], while no association with PFS [HR = 1.03, 95% CI (0.99, 1.07), p = 0.222] and EFS [HR = 2.58, 95% CI (0.37, 18.24), p = 0.341] was presented. MTV showed no association with OS [HR = 2.46, 95% CI (0.34, 18.06), p = 0.376] and PFS [HR = 2.60, 95% CI (0.68, 9.88), p = 0.161]. There was a statistically significant association between TLG and OS [HR = 1.00, 95% CI (1.00, 1.00), p = 0.00], while the HR was 1, so the association could not be concluded, and TLG showed no association with PFS [HR = 1.00, 95% CI (0.99, 1.00), p = 0.974]. Conclusion: High SUVmax indicates poor OS in patients with neuroblastoma. The MTV and TLG are potential prognostic predictors that need to be further validated by more well-designed studies.
