To investigate whether multiphasic multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) enhancement can help identify the gain of chromosome 20 in clear cell renal cell carcinomas (RCCs), a rare prognostically significant cytogenetic abnormality.
With the Institutional Review Board approval, we queried our institution's pathology database to derive a cohort of 52 cases of clear cell RCC with preoperative four-phase renal mass protocol MDCT and karyotypes of the resected specimens during a 10-year period. Each lesion was evaluated for absolute and relative (compared to contralateral normal renal cortex) attenuations in each phase. Relative attenuation was calculated as [(lesion attenuation - cortex attenuation)/cortex attenuation] × 100. The absolute and relative attenuations were compared using t-tests.
Clear cell RCCs with the gain of 20 had significantly less nephrographic and excretory phase enhancement than clear cell RCCs without the gain of 20 (86.4 HU vs. 111.4 HU, p = 0.007; 70.0 HU vs. 89.4 HU, p = 0.003; respectively). Additionally, the relative nephrographic and excretory phase attenuations of clear cell RCCs with the gain of 20 were significantly less than that of clear cell RCCs without the gain of 20 (-52.7 vs. -34.7, p = 0.002; -44.9 vs. -31.1, p = 0.005; respectively).
Multiphasic MDCT enhancement may assist in identifying the gain of chromosome 20 in clear cell RCCs, if validated in a large prospective trial.
探讨多期多层 CT 增强扫描(MDCT)能否有助于识别肾透明细胞癌(RCC)中 20 号染色体获得这一罕见的具有预后意义的细胞遗传学异常。
经机构审查委员会批准,我们检索了本机构的病理学数据库,以获取 10 年间行术前四期肾肿块 MDCT 检查及切除标本核型分析的 52 例肾透明细胞癌病例。对每个病变在各期的绝对衰减和相对衰减(与对侧正常肾皮质相比)进行评估。相对衰减的计算公式为[(病变衰减-皮质衰减)/皮质衰减]×100。使用 t 检验比较绝对衰减和相对衰减。
与未获得 20 号染色体的肾透明细胞癌相比,获得 20 号染色体的肾透明细胞癌的肾实质期和排泄期增强程度显著降低(86.4 HU 比 111.4 HU,p=0.007;70.0 HU 比 89.4 HU,p=0.003)。此外,获得 20 号染色体的肾透明细胞癌的相对肾实质期和排泄期衰减值也明显低于未获得 20 号染色体的肾透明细胞癌(-52.7 比-34.7,p=0.002;-44.9 比-31.1,p=0.005)。
如果在大型前瞻性试验中得到验证,多期 MDCT 增强扫描可能有助于识别肾透明细胞癌中 20 号染色体的获得。
