BACKGROUND
Whole-body (18)F-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) has the potential to improve the management of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We prospectively evaluated the impact of combining FDG-PET with conventional staging methods, including computed tomography (CT), on the staging and management of patients with potentially resectable NSCLC.
METHODS
Ninety-four consecutive patients with newly diagnosed/suspected NSCLC were enrolled. Each patient was first staged by using conventional methods, and then by FDG-PET. FDG-PET results were forwarded in a sealed envelope and divulged at the weekly staff meeting on staging and treatment, only after "Decision 1", based on conventional staging, had been reached by consensus; reevaluation taking FDG-PET into account yielded "Decision 2". The validity of these latter decisions was analyzed retrospectively.
RESULTS
Eighty-nine patients were eligible. Relative to standard imaging, FDG-PET led to clinical staging changes in 26 (29.2%) patients. The stage was lowered in eight cases (9%) and raised in 18 cases (20.2%). "Decision 2" differed from "Decision 1" in 19 patients, modifying the surgical procedure in four cases, indicating other investigations to confirm FDG-PET evidence of metastases in 12 cases, or modifying the medical treatment in three cases. These modifications were retrospectively justified in 9/19 cases, and consisted of 2/4 modifications of the surgical procedure (one hilar and one adrenal metastasis not confirmed histologically), 4/12 further investigations (axillary and liver biopsies, mediastinoscopy, occult colon cancer) and three indications for palliative treatment, in patients who all died within 3 months after FDG-PET.
CONCLUSIONS
Based on FDG-PET, management was modified in 19/89 (21.3%) patients, but these changes were justified in only 9/89 patients (10.1%). FDG-PET can detect asymptomatic local and distant metastases and improves the preoperative assessment of NSCLC, thereby avoiding unnecessary surgery. However, histological verification is required because of the risk of false-positive results.
背景
全身(18)F - 脱氧葡萄糖正电子发射断层扫描(FDG - PET)有潜力改善非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)的治疗管理。我们前瞻性评估了将FDG - PET与包括计算机断层扫描(CT)在内的传统分期方法相结合,对潜在可切除NSCLC患者分期及治疗管理的影响。
方法
连续纳入94例新诊断/疑似NSCLC患者。每位患者首先采用传统方法进行分期,然后进行FDG - PET检查。FDG - PET结果装于密封信封中传递,并仅在基于传统分期达成“决策1”共识后,于每周的分期及治疗员工会议上公布;考虑FDG - PET结果后的重新评估得出“决策2”。对这些后续决策的有效性进行回顾性分析。
结果
89例患者符合条件。相对于标准影像学检查,FDG - PET使26例(29.2%)患者的临床分期发生改变。其中8例(9%)分期降低,18例(20.2%)分期升高。“决策2”与“决策1”在19例患者中不同,4例改变了手术方式,12例表明需进行其他检查以证实FDG - PET提示的转移灶,3例改变了药物治疗。这些改变在9/19例中经回顾性分析证明合理,包括2/4例手术方式改变(1例肺门和1例肾上腺转移灶经组织学检查未证实),4/12例进一步检查(腋窝和肝脏活检、纵隔镜检查、隐匿性结肠癌)以及3例姑息治疗指征,这些患者在FDG - PET检查后3个月内均死亡。
结论
基于FDG - PET,19/89(21.3%)例患者的治疗管理发生改变,但仅9/89(10.1%)例患者的这些改变是合理的。FDG - PET可检测无症状的局部和远处转移灶,改善NSCLC的术前评估,从而避免不必要的手术。然而,由于存在假阳性结果的风险,需要进行组织学验证。
