A meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the accuracy of MRI, CT and FDG PET/CT in TNM stage of nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients (NPC).
Through a search of studies from 1996 to April 2015, pooled estimated sensitivity, specificity, pooled diagnostic odds ratio (DOR), summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) curves and Q*-index were calculated.
Totally 23 studies were included for analysis. In T stage, the pooled sensitivity, specificity, DOR and SROC of MRI were 0.95 (95% CI 0.93-0.97), 0.76 (95% CI 0.71-0.80), 86.85 (16.36-461.06) and 0.9213 (SE 0.0372) respectively. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, DOR and SROC of CT were 0.84 (95% CI 0.79 to 0.88), 0.80 (95% CI 0.71 to 0.88), 6.32 (1.17 to 34.02) and 0.7215 (SE 0.054) respectively. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, DOR and SROC of FDG PET/CT were 0.85 (95% CI 0.76 to 0.91), 0.91 (95% CI 0.84 to 0.96) and 0.8673 (SE 0.0311). In N stage, the pooled sensitivity, specificity, DOR and SROC of MRI were 0.88 (95% CI 0.85-0.90), 0.95 (95% CI 0.93-0.97), 93.68 (23.21-379.69) and 0.9153 (SE 0.099) respectively. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, DOR and SROC of CT were 0.92 (95% CI 0.88-0.95), 0.93 (0.76-0.99), 93.81 (22.39-393.03) and 0.8872 (SE 0.0520) respectively. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, DOR and SROC of FDG PET/CT were 0.88 (95% CI 0.85-0.90), 0.95 (95% CI 0.93-0.97), 93.88 (23.21-379.69) and 0.9153 (SE 0.0299) respectively. In M stage, the pooled sensitivity and specificity of MRI were 0.53 (95% CI 0.35-0.70) and 0.99 (95% 0.95-1.00). The pooled sensitivity and specificity of CT were 0.80 (95% CI 0.44-0.97) and 0.93 (95% CI 0.86-0.97) respectively. The pooled sensitivity, specificity and SROC of FDG PET/CT were 0.82 (95% 0.74-0.88), 0.98 (95% CI 0.96-0.99) and 0.9002 (SE 0.075) respectively.
The analysis suggested that MRI had good accuracy in diagnosis of T stage. Whereas CT is currently a good performance in diagnosis of N stage, FDG PET/CT shows good accuracy in diagnosis of M stage.
进行一项荟萃分析以评估MRI、CT和FDG PET/CT在鼻咽癌患者(NPC)TNM分期中的准确性。
通过检索1996年至2015年4月的研究,计算合并估计灵敏度、特异性、合并诊断比值比(DOR)、汇总受试者工作特征(SROC)曲线和Q*指数。
共纳入23项研究进行分析。在T分期中,MRI的合并灵敏度、特异性、DOR和SROC分别为0.95(95%CI 0.93 - 0.97)、0.76(95%CI 0.71 - 0.80)、86.85(16.36 - 461.06)和0.9213(SE 0.0372)。CT的合并灵敏度、特异性、DOR和SROC分别为0.84(95%CI 0.79至0.88)、0.80(95%CI 0.71至0.88)、6.32(1.17至34.02)和0.7215(SE 0.054)。FDG PET/CT的合并灵敏度、特异性、DOR和SROC分别为0.85(95%CI 0.76至0.91)、0.91(95%CI 0.84至0.96)和0.8673(SE 0.0311)。在N分期中,MRI的合并灵敏度、特异性、DOR和SROC分别为0.88(95%CI 0.85 - 0.90)、0.95(95%CI 0.93 - 0.97)、93.68(23.21 - 379.69)和0.9153(SE 0.099)。CT的合并灵敏度、特异性、DOR和SROC分别为0.92(95%CI 0.88 - 0.95)、0.93(0.76 - 0.99)、93.81(22.39 - 393.03)和0.8872(SE 0.0520)。FDG PET/CT的合并灵敏度、特异性、DOR和SROC分别为0.88(95%CI 0.85 - 0.90)、0.95(95%CI 0.93 - 0.97)、93.88(23.21 - 379.69)和0.9153(SE 0.0299)。在M分期中,MRI的合并灵敏度和特异性分别为0.53(95%CI 0.35 - 0.70)和0.99(95% 0.95 - 1.00)。CT的合并灵敏度和特异性分别为0.80(95%CI 0.44 - 0.97)和0.93(95%CI 0.86 - 0.97)。FDG PET/CT的合并灵敏度、特异性和SROC分别为0.82(95% 0.74 - 0.88)、0.98(95%CI 0.96 - 0.99)和0.9002(SE 0.075)。
分析表明MRI在T分期诊断中具有良好的准确性。而CT目前在N分期诊断中表现良好,FDG PET/CT在M分期诊断中显示出良好的准确性。
