The current study was conducted to compare the diagnostic accuracy between (18)F-fluoro-2-deoxy-D: -glucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT), and conventional imaging (CI) for the staging and re-staging of patients with rhabdomyosarcomas.
Thirty-five patients who underwent FDG PET/CT prior to treatment were evaluated retrospectively. CI methods consisted of (99m)Tc-hydroxymethylene diphosphonate bone scintigraphy, chest radiograph, whole body CT, and magnetic resonance imaging of the primary site. The images were reviewed and two boardcertified radiologists reached a diagnostic consensus. Tumor stage was confirmed by histological examination and/or follow-up examinations.
Interpretation on the basis of FDG PET/CT, and CI, diagnostic accuracies of the T and N stages were similar. Using FDG PET/CT, the M stage was correctly assigned in 31 patients (89%), whereas the accuracy of CI in M stage was 63%. TNM stage was correctly assessed with FDG PET/CT in 30 of 35 patients (86%) and with CI in 19 of 35 patients (54%). The overall TNM staging and M staging accuracies of FDG PET/CT were significantly higher than that of CI (P < 0.01).
FDG PET/CT is more accurate than CI regarding clinical staging and re-staging of patients with rhabdomyosarcomas.
本研究旨在比较¹⁸F-氟-2-脱氧-D-葡萄糖(FDG)正电子发射断层扫描(PET)/计算机断层扫描(CT)与传统成像(CI)在横纹肌肉瘤患者分期及再分期中的诊断准确性。
对35例治疗前行FDG PET/CT检查的患者进行回顾性评估。CI方法包括⁹⁹ᵐTc-亚甲基二膦酸盐骨闪烁显像、胸部X线片、全身CT以及原发部位的磁共振成像。对图像进行分析,两名具有专业资质的放射科医生达成诊断共识。肿瘤分期通过组织学检查和/或随访检查确定。
基于FDG PET/CT和CI的解读,T分期和N分期的诊断准确性相似。使用FDG PET/CT,31例患者(89%)的M分期判断正确,而CI对M分期的准确性为63%。35例患者中,FDG PET/CT正确评估TNM分期的有30例(86%),CI正确评估的有19例(54%)。FDG PET/CT的总体TNM分期和M分期准确性显著高于CI(P<0.01)。
在横纹肌肉瘤患者的临床分期及再分期方面,FDG PET/CT比CI更准确。
