Inclusion Criteria

Adult patients (age 18 years and over) with:
-Newly diagnosed or suspected NSCLC stage IB, IIB or limited stage III (T3N1) (at least 30mm in smallest diameter);
-Primary surgical resection (wedge excision, segmentectomy, lobectomy or pneumonectomy).

Exclusion Criteria

- Neoadjuvant treatment prior to surgery;
- No staging CT or FDG-PET available;
- Contra-indication for surgery:
o Based on (biological) age, cardiovascular risk factors, expected remaining lung function, performance status or other co-morbidity as decided by a multidisciplinary team including medical oncologists, thorax surgeons, pulmonologists, radiation oncologists, pathologists, radiologists and nuclear medicine physicians.
- Contra-indication for dynamic FDG-PET:
o Diabetes mellitus;
o Pregnancy;
o Breast-feeding;
o Severe claustrophobia.
o Post-obstruction pneumonia (false-positive FDG-PET)
- Interval between staging CT/FDG-PET, dynamic FDG-PET and surgery more than 28 days;
- Histology proven non-NSCLC or high suspicion for tumour of other origin (e.g. metastasis of colorectal, breast or pharyngeal origin);
- Inability to give informed consent.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>Biological and dimensional correlation between FDG-PET, CT and surgical derived<br /><br>specimens. These parameters will be used in prediction models for patient<br /><br>survival.</p><br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>Use the most accurate technique found in (dynamic) FDG-PET tumour delineation<br /><br>for analysis of tumour activity, blood fraction, heterogeneity and full kinetic<br /><br>parameters and to correlate these with both histological findings (2A) and<br /><br>patient prognosis (2B) to come to in vivo predictive biological parameters.</p><br>
