To predict early tumor response to transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) based on volumetric oil deposition on posttreatment computed tomography (CT) in patients with leiomyosarcoma liver metastases.
This retrospective lesion-by-lesion based study included 32 lesions. The volumetric percent enhancing tumor on pre-TACE and 1-month post-TACE venous phase magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and the percent oil deposition on CT 1 day after TACE were calculated. The predicted post-TACE enhanced percentage was computed by subtracting percent oil deposition from baseline percent enhanced.
Mean percentage of viable tumor on pre-TACE MRI was 90.6% ± 9.3%. Mean oil deposition was calculated as 51.4% ± 26.2%. Mean percentage of measured residual tumor enhancement 1 month after TACE was 58.3% ± 27%, which correlates with predicted enhancement percentage of 43.9% ± 25.1% (r = 0.72, P < 0.001). A threshold of 35.5% for enhancement reduction was determined to predict tumor response with an accuracy of 78.1%.
Volumetric oil deposition on CT can predict residual enhancement on post-TACE MRI.
基于经导管肝动脉化疗栓塞术(TACE)后 CT 上的油沉积体积,预测平滑肌肉瘤肝转移患者的早期肿瘤反应。
本回顾性基于病变的研究纳入了 32 个病变。计算 TACE 前和 1 个月后静脉期 MRI 的肿瘤增强百分比,以及 TACE 后 1 天 CT 上的油沉积百分比。通过从基线增强百分比中减去油沉积百分比来计算预测 TACE 后的增强百分比。
TACE 前 MRI 上的肿瘤活性百分比平均值为 90.6%±9.3%。油沉积的平均值为 51.4%±26.2%。TACE 后 1 个月测量的残余肿瘤增强百分比的平均值为 58.3%±27%,与预测的增强百分比 43.9%±25.1%(r=0.72,P<0.001)相关。确定增强减少的阈值为 35.5%,以预测肿瘤反应,准确率为 78.1%。
CT 上的油沉积体积可以预测 TACE 后 MRI 上的残余增强。
