To investigate the diagnostic performance of F-fluciclovine positron-emission tomography (PET) or combined PET and computed tomography (PET/CT) for diagnosis of primary cancer, preoperative lymph node (LN) staging, and detection of recurrent disease of prostate cancer (PCa) through a systematic review and meta-analysis.
The PubMed and EMBASE databases were searched from the earliest available date of indexing through 31 December 2018, for studies evaluating the diagnostic performance of F-fluciclovine PET or PET/CT for the management of PCa patients. The sensitivities, specificities, and positive and negative likelihood ratios (LR+ and LR-) across the studies were calculated and summary receiver operating characteristic curves were constructed.
Across 13 studies (563 patients), the pooled sensitivity for F-fluciclovine PET or PET/CT for diagnosis of primary PCa was 0.87 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.77-0.93) and a pooled specificity of 0.84 (95% CI: 0.68-0.93). For LN staging, the pooled sensitivity was 0.56 (95% CI: 0.37-0.74) and a pooled specificity of 0.98 (95% CI: 0.88-1.00). For detection of recurrent disease, the pooled sensitivity was 0.79 (95% CI: 0.60-0.91) and a pooled specificity of 0.69 (95% CI: 0.59-0.77). In meta-regression analysis, no definite variable was the source of the study heterogeneity.
The current meta-analysis showed the moderate sensitivity and specificity of F-fluciclovine PET or PET/CT for the diagnosis of primary cancer, preoperative LN staging, and detection of recurrent PCa. Further large multicentre studies will be necessary to substantiate the diagnostic accuracy of F-fluciclovine PET/CT for management of PCa patients.
通过系统评价和荟萃分析,研究 F-氟代脱氧葡萄糖正电子发射断层扫描(PET)或联合 PET 和计算机断层扫描(PET/CT)在诊断前列腺癌(PCa)原发癌、术前淋巴结(LN)分期和检测复发性 PCa 方面的诊断性能。
检索了 PubMed 和 EMBASE 数据库,检索时间为最早可追溯到索引日期至 2018 年 12 月 31 日,评估 F-氟代脱氧葡萄糖 PET 或 PET/CT 对 PCa 患者管理的诊断性能的研究。计算了各研究的敏感性、特异性、阳性和阴性似然比(LR+和 LR-),并绘制了汇总受试者工作特征曲线。
共有 13 项研究(563 例患者)纳入荟萃分析,F-氟代脱氧葡萄糖 PET 或 PET/CT 诊断原发 PCa 的汇总敏感性为 0.87(95%置信区间:0.77-0.93),特异性为 0.84(95%置信区间:0.68-0.93)。对于 LN 分期,汇总敏感性为 0.56(95%置信区间:0.37-0.74),特异性为 0.98(95%置信区间:0.88-1.00)。对于检测复发性疾病,汇总敏感性为 0.79(95%置信区间:0.60-0.91),特异性为 0.69(95%置信区间:0.59-0.77)。在荟萃回归分析中,没有确定的变量是研究异质性的来源。
本荟萃分析表明,F-氟代脱氧葡萄糖 PET 或 PET/CT 对诊断原发癌、术前 LN 分期和检测复发性 PCa 的敏感性和特异性均为中等水平。需要进一步开展大型多中心研究来证实 F-氟代脱氧葡萄糖 PET/CT 对 PCa 患者管理的诊断准确性。
