Synchronous primary tumors (SPTs) are detected via triple endoscopy or positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT). Patients with human papillomavirus-associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HPV+ OPSCC) lack risk factors for SPTs.
We performed a single institution retrospective review of the efficacy of triple endoscopy and PET/CT in HPV+ OPSCC patients.
Sixty-five HPV+ OPSCC patients underwent triple endoscopy and PET/CT. Patients were white (n = 48, 72.7%), male (n = 53, 81.5%), mean 58.7 ± 8.1 years old. SPT was detected in 1 (1.5%) patient via PET/CT. No SPTs were detected on triple endoscopy. PET/CT had 100% and 95.3% sensitivity and specificity, respectively. PET/CT positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) were 25.0% and 100%, respectively. Triple endoscopy specificity and NPV was 90.2% and 93.2%, respectively.
PET/CT is superior to triple endoscopy in ruling out SPTs. With negative PET/CT, only direct laryngoscopy with biopsy may be necessary.
同步原发性肿瘤(SPTs)可通过三联内镜或正电子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描(PET/CT)检测到。人乳头瘤病毒相关口咽鳞状细胞癌(HPV+ OPSCC)患者缺乏 SPT 的风险因素。
我们对 HPV+ OPSCC 患者进行了三联内镜和 PET/CT 的单机构回顾性研究。
65 例 HPV+ OPSCC 患者接受了三联内镜和 PET/CT 检查。患者为白人(n=48,72.7%)、男性(n=53,81.5%),平均年龄 58.7±8.1 岁。1 例(1.5%)患者通过 PET/CT 检测到 SPT。三联内镜未发现 SPT。PET/CT 的灵敏度和特异性分别为 100%和 95.3%。PET/CT 的阳性预测值(PPV)和阴性预测值(NPV)分别为 25.0%和 100%。三联内镜的特异性和 NPV 分别为 90.2%和 93.2%。
PET/CT 在排除 SPT 方面优于三联内镜。如果 PET/CT 阴性,仅直接喉镜活检可能是必要的。
