The aim of this study was to identify the prognostic impact of metabolic parameters of F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron-emission tomography (PET) in patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (IHCC) undergoing hepatic resection.
Twenty-four patients with IHCC who underwent surgical resection were enrolled and F-FDG PET parameters maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax), metabolic tumor volume (MTV), and total lesion glycolysis (TLG) were measured, as well as overall and recurrence-free survival.
High TLG was significantly associated with large tumor size and high carbohydrate antigen 19-9 level. Patients with high SUVmax, high MTV or high TLG had a significantly worse prognosis regarding both overall and recurrence-free survival than those with low SUVmax, low MTV and low TLG, respectively. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards analysis identified that high TLG significantly influenced both overall and recurrence-free survival.
Preoperative assessment of TLG by F-FDG PET might be a useful prognostic predictor after hepatic resection in patients with IHCC.
本研究旨在确定氟脱氧葡萄糖(FDG)正电子发射断层扫描(PET)的代谢参数对接受肝切除的肝内胆管癌(IHCC)患者预后的影响。
纳入24例行手术切除的IHCC患者,测量F-FDG PET参数最大标准化摄取值(SUVmax)、代谢肿瘤体积(MTV)和总病灶糖酵解(TLG),以及总生存期和无复发生存期。
高TLG与肿瘤体积大及糖类抗原19-9水平高显著相关。SUVmax高、MTV高或TLG高的患者在总生存期和无复发生存期方面分别比SUVmax低、MTV低和TLG低的患者预后明显更差。多因素Cox比例风险分析表明,高TLG对总生存期和无复发生存期均有显著影响。
FDG PET术前评估TLG可能是IHCC患者肝切除术后有用的预后预测指标。
