We evaluated the use of fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/CT for the identification of extracapsular spread (ECS) with supporting histologic correlations in laryngeal cancer.
We reviewed the medical records of 89 patients with laryngeal cancer who underwent FDG PET/CT before surgery.
ECS was present in 38.2% (18 of 47) of dissected necks and in 32.2% (20 of 62) of dissected cervical levels. There was a significant difference in the standardized uptake value maximum (SUVmax ) between cervical lymph nodes with and without ECS (6.39 ± 4.53 vs 1.21 ± 1.70; p < .001); the cutoff value for differentiating nodes with ECS from those without ECS was 2.8, with a sensitivity of 85.7% and specificity of 85.6%.
A median SUVmax cutoff value >2.8 was associated with an increased risk of cervical lymph node metastasis and ECS in patients with laryngeal cancer.
我们评估了氟脱氧葡萄糖(FDG)正电子发射断层扫描(PET)/计算机断层扫描(CT)在喉癌中识别包膜外扩散(ECS)并结合支持性组织学相关性的应用。
我们回顾了89例术前接受FDG PET/CT检查的喉癌患者的病历。
在47例接受清扫的颈部中,38.2%(18例)存在ECS;在62个接受清扫的颈部区域中,32.2%(20个)存在ECS。有ECS和无ECS的颈部淋巴结之间的最大标准化摄取值(SUVmax)存在显著差异(6.39±4.53 vs 1.21±1.70;p<.001);区分有ECS和无ECS淋巴结的临界值为2.8,敏感性为85.7%,特异性为85.6%。
中位SUVmax临界值>2.8与喉癌患者颈部淋巴结转移和ECS风险增加相关。
