Furthermore, LNs evaluated with EBUS exhibiting sonographically benign criteria were not histopathologically evaluated, potentially introducing bias. A prospective study design, especially categorising cancer subtypes separately, could yield more robust results. Additionally, the lack of standardisation in the 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging protocol for measuring MTV and TLG poses a challenge. The segmentation method for determining MTV is still evolving, and there is currently no validated technique. Variability in studies arises from calculations using different SUV threshold values. Moreover, the fixed threshold SUV of 2.5 used to calculate MTV and TLG may lead to overestimation in tumours with high FDG uptake and underestimation in those with low uptake due to the exclusion of areas below the threshold value.</p></span><span id="sec0085" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0115">Conclusion</span><p id="par0175" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The developed scoring system aims to predict the likelihood of LNM in malignancies and to reduce unnecessary invasive staging. Our research identifies high FDG uptake in LNs from the liver, along with LN size, SUVmax, MTV and TLG, as independent risk factors for LNM. These parameters offer supplementary advantages to current clinical staging methods, potentially decreasing the need for invasive procedures. For individuals with a total score below 2.5, invasive staging may not be warranted. LNs scoring 3 or above exhibit a high likelihood of metastasis, indicating their suitability for invasive pathological staging. However, multi-centre studies with larger patient cohorts are necessary to validate this scoring system before routine implementation. Furthermore, this scoring system could be applied not only for LNM but also for the differential diagnosis of various LN conditions, such as granulomatous, reactive, or anthracotic LNs. Future studies on a larger scale are imperative to comprehensively validate this approach.</p></span><span id="sec0090" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0120">Declaration of Congress Abstract</span><p id="par0180" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">This study has not been published or presented any where before.</p></span><span id="sec0095" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0125">Ethic</span><p id="par0185" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In this study, national and international ethical rules are observed.</p></span><span id="sec0100" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0130">Ethic Board</span><p id="par0190" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Ethics Committee of the University of Health Sciences, Keçiören Training and Research Hospital (14.09.2021/2012-KAEK-15/2365).</p></span><span id="sec0105" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0135">Financial Disclosure</span><p id="par0195" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The authors declared that this study has received no financial support.</p></span><span id="sec0110" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0140">Authors’ Contributions</span><p id="par0200" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Ayperi Öztürk and Özlem Özmen: conceptualization, methodology, software. Özlem Özdağ: data curation, writing- original draft preparation. Ebru Tatcı and Figen Öztürk Ergür: visualization, investigation. Özlem Özmen: supervision, validation.
