To evaluate the accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with lumen distention for rectal cancer staging and circumferential resection margin (CRM) involvement prediction.
Seventy-three patients with primary rectal cancer underwent high-resolution MRI with a phased-array coil performed using 60-80 mL room air rectal distention, 1-3 weeks before surgery. MRI results were compared to postoperative histopathological findings. The overall MRI T staging accuracy was calculated. CRM involvement prediction and the N staging, the accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) were assessed for each T stage. The agreement between MRI and histological results was assessed using weighted-kappa statistics.
The overall MRI accuracy for T staging was 93.6% (k = 0.85). The accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV for each T stage were as follows: 91.8%, 86.2%, 95.5%, 92.6% and 91.3% for the group ≤ T2; 90.4%, 94.6%, 86.1%, 87.5% and 94% for T3; 98,6%, 85.7%, 100%, 100% and 98.5% for T4, respectively. The predictive CRM accuracy was 94.5% (k = 0.86); the sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV were 89.5%, 96.3%, 89.5%, and 96.3% respectively. The N staging accuracy was 68.49% (k = 0.4).
MRI performed with rectal lumen distention has proved to be an effective technique both for rectal cancer staging and involved CRM predicting.
评估磁共振成像(MRI)联合直肠腔内充气对直肠癌分期和环周切缘(CRM)受累预测的准确性。
73 例原发性直肠癌患者在术前 1-3 周内行直肠腔内充气(使用 60-80mL 空气)高分辨率 MRI 检查,采用相控阵线圈。将 MRI 结果与术后组织病理学结果进行比较。计算总体 MRI T 分期准确性。评估各 T 分期时 CRM 受累预测及 N 分期的准确性、敏感度、特异度、阳性预测值(PPV)和阴性预测值(NPV)。采用加权 Kappa 统计评估 MRI 与组织学结果之间的一致性。
MRI 对 T 分期的总体准确性为 93.6%(k = 0.85)。各 T 分期的准确性、敏感度、特异度、PPV 和 NPV 如下:T2 及以下组为 91.8%、86.2%、95.5%、92.6%和 91.3%;T3 组为 90.4%、94.6%、86.1%、87.5%和 94%;T4 组为 98.6%、85.7%、100%、100%和 98.5%。预测 CRM 准确性为 94.5%(k = 0.86);敏感度、特异度、PPV 和 NPV 分别为 89.5%、96.3%、89.5%和 96.3%。N 分期准确性为 68.49%(k = 0.4)。
直肠腔内充气的 MRI 检查已被证明是一种有效的直肠癌分期和预测 CRM 受累的技术。
