摘要
目的:前瞻性评估双能量CT(dual-energy computed tomography, DECT)中的总碘摄取(total iodine uptake,TIU)在预测胃癌病人新辅助化疗疗效和无进展生存期(progression-free survival, PFS)的应用价值。方法:收集我院44例化疗前、后均行DECT扫描的局部进展期胃癌病人。计算肿瘤面积(%ΔS),直径(%ΔD)和密度(%ΔHU)的变化率来评估WHO、RESCIST和Choi标准。同时计算肿瘤体积(%ΔV)和门静脉期TIU的变化率(%ΔTIU-p)来评估ROC曲线下的界值。统计学分析不同标准与组织病理退缩分级(Becker)或PFS间的关系。结果:分别根据ΔV(43.34%,P=0.002)和ΔTIU-p(63.87%,P=0.002)的界值将病人分为反应组和非反应组。%ΔTIU-p标准与Becker间显示较强的相关性(r=0.602,P<0.001),%ΔV显示中等相关(r=0.416, P=0.005),而WHO(r=0.075, P=0.627), RECIST(r=0.270, P=0.077)和Choi标准(r=0.238, P=0.120)与Becker间无相关性。%ΔTIU-p(P=0.001)和Choi标准(P=0.013)的反应组和非反应组PFS间差异具有统计学意义。结论:TIU-p可预测进展期胃癌病人新辅助化疗后病理退缩。%ΔTIU-p分析新辅助化疗后的PFS有一定意义。
Objective To evaluate prospectively the total iodine uptake(TIU) from dual-energy computed tomography(DECT) in predicting treatment efficacy and progression-free survival(PFS) time in the patients with gastric cancers after neoadjuvant chemotherapy(NAC). Methods Forty-four patients with locally advanced gastric cancer were given DECT before and after NAC. Changes in percentage of tumor area(%ΔS), diameter(%ΔD), and density(%ΔHU) were calculated to evaluate the WHO, RESCIST, and Choi criteria. Changes in percentage of tumor volume(%ΔV) and TIU in portal phase(%ΔTIU-p) were also calculated to determine cut-off points by ROC curves. Correlations between criteria and histomorphologic tumor regression grade(Becker) and between criteria and PFS were analyzed. Results Patients were divided into responders group and non-responders group by ΔV(43.34%, P=0.002) and by ΔTIU-p(63.87%, P=0.002), respectively.Higher correlation was present between criteria %ΔTIU-p and Becker grade(r=0.602, P<0.001) and moderate correlation between criteria %ΔV and Becker grade(r=0.416, P=0.005), while no correlation between Becker grade and WHO criteria(r=0.075, P=0.627), RECIST criteria(r=0.270, P=0.077) and Choi criteria(r=0.238, P=0.120). There were statistical differences significantly in PFS time of the patients between responder group and non-responder group when using criteria%ΔTIU-p(P=0.001) or Choi criteria(P=0.013). Conclusions TIU-p could be used to predict pathological regression in patients with advanced gastric cancer after NAC. Criteria % ΔTIU-p would become the parameter to study PFS time after NAC.
