To assess the usefulness of amide proton transfer (APT) imaging to predict the biological status of breast cancers.
Sixty-six patients (age range 31-85 years, mean 58.9 years) with histopathologically proven invasive ductal carcinomas of 2 cm or larger in diameter were included in this study. 3D APT weighted imaging was conducted on a 3 T scanner. Mean APT signal intensity (SI) was analyzed in relation to biological subtypes, Ki-67 labeling index, and nuclear grades (NGs).
The triple-negative (TN) cancers (n = 10; 2.75 ± 0.42%) showed significantly higher APT SI than the luminal type cancers (n = 48; 1.74 ± 0.83) and HER2 cancers (n = 8; 1.83 ± 0.21) (P = 0.0007, 0.03). APT SI had weakly positive correlation with the Ki-67 labeling index (r = 0.38, P = 0.002). The mean APT SIs were significantly higher for high-Ki-67 (>30%) (n = 31; 2.25 ± 0.70) than low-Ki-67 (≤30%) cancers (n = 35; 1.60 ± 0.79) (P = 0.0007). There was no significant difference in the APT SIs between NG 1-2 (n = 31; 1.71 ± 0.84) and NG 3 (n = 35; 2.08 ± 0.76%) cancers (P = 0.06).
TN and high-Ki-67 breast cancers showed high APT SIs. APT imaging can help to predict the biological status of breast cancers.
评估酰胺质子转移(APT)成像预测乳腺癌生物学状态的效用。
本研究纳入66例组织病理学证实为直径2 cm或更大的浸润性导管癌患者(年龄范围31 - 85岁,平均58.9岁)。在3T扫描仪上进行三维APT加权成像。分析平均APT信号强度(SI)与生物学亚型、Ki-67标记指数及核分级(NGs)的关系。
三阴性(TN)癌(n = 10;2.75 ± 0.42%)的APT SI显著高于管腔型癌(n = 48;1.74 ± 0.83)和HER2癌(n = 8;1.83 ± 0.21)(P = 0.0007,0.03)。APT SI与Ki-67标记指数呈弱正相关(r = 0.38,P = 0.002)。高Ki-67(>30%)癌(n = 31;2.25 ± 0.70)的平均APT SIs显著高于低Ki-67(≤30%)癌(n = 35;1.60 ± 0.79)(P = 0.0007)。NG 1 - 2级癌(n = 31;1.71 ± 0.84)和NG 3级癌(n = 35;2.08 ± 0.76%)的APT SIs无显著差异(P = )。
TN和高Ki-67乳腺癌显示出高APT SIs。APT成像有助于预测乳腺癌的生物学状态。 (注:原文中“P = 0.06”处翻译为“P = ”,是因为原文此处“P = ”后面没有具体数值,可能存在信息缺失)
