Can monovoxel magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) reliably follow tumour progression in low-grade glioma?
21 patients with low-grade glioma underwent at least 3 MRS.
For progression from a grade II to grade III tumour, a sensitivity of 57.1% and specificity of 60% were observed, with a positive predictive value (PPV) of 48.8% and a negative predictive value (NPV) of 54.5%. For progression under treatment, we obtained a sensitivity of 57.1% by N-acetylaspartate (NAA)/choline (Cho) and myoinositol/creatine (Cr) and a specificity of 100% by Cho/Cr and lipids, with a PPV of 80% and a NPV of 63.6%.
We found that NAA/Cho is the best marker of tumour progression before therapy, with a sensitivity of 53.9%. For the therapeutic response, sensitivity was only 28.2%.
单体素磁共振波谱(MRS)能否可靠地跟踪低级别胶质瘤的肿瘤进展?
21例低级别胶质瘤患者接受了至少3次MRS检查。
对于从二级肿瘤进展为三级肿瘤,观察到的敏感度为57.1%,特异度为60%,阳性预测值(PPV)为48.8%,阴性预测值(NPV)为54.5%。对于治疗过程中的进展,通过N-乙酰天门冬氨酸(NAA)/胆碱(Cho)和肌醇/肌酸(Cr)得出的敏感度为57.1%,通过Cho/Cr和脂质得出的特异度为100%,PPV为80%,NPV为63.6%。
我们发现,NAA/Cho是治疗前肿瘤进展的最佳标志物,敏感度为53.9%。对于治疗反应,敏感度仅为28.2%。
