To explore whether the use of intravenous contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) can improve the diagnostic accuracy of T stage of gastric cancer on the basis of oral contrast-enhanced ultrasound (OCEUS).
Eighty-one patients with gastric cancer who underwent preoperative CEUS. Criteria for T staging was AJCC Stage 8th Edition. To compare the diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of OCEUS and CEUS for T staging of gastric cancer using pathological results as the gold standard.
There were differences in the diagnostic accuracy of T2 (P = 0.048), T3(P = 0.002) and T4 (P = 0.000) between OCEUS and CEUS. And there was no difference in diagnostic accuracy for T1 (P = 0.118). CEUS significantly improved diagnostic sensitivity and specificity in T3 (42.86% to 61.90% for sensitivity, 86.96% to 93.75% for specificity), and T4 (64.71% to 76.47% for sensitivity, 78.33% to 95.74% for specificity).
Compared with OCEUS, CEUS did improve the diagnostic accuracy of T2, T3, and T4 stages of gastric cancer.
探讨静脉内超声造影(CEUS)能否在口服超声造影(OCEUS)的基础上提高胃癌 T 分期的诊断准确性。
对 81 例术前接受 CEUS 的胃癌患者进行回顾性研究。采用第 8 版 AJCC 分期作为 T 分期标准。以病理结果为金标准,比较 OCEUS 和 CEUS 对胃癌 T 分期的诊断准确性、敏感性和特异性。
OCEUS 和 CEUS 在 T2(P=0.048)、T3(P=0.002)和 T4(P=0.000)的诊断准确性方面存在差异。而在 T1(P=0.118)的诊断准确性方面无差异。CEUS 显著提高了 T3(敏感性从 42.86%提高到 61.90%,特异性从 86.96%提高到 93.75%)和 T4(敏感性从 64.71%提高到 76.47%,特异性从 78.33%提高到 95.74%)的诊断敏感性和特异性。
与 OCEUS 相比,CEUS 确实提高了胃癌 T2、T3 和 T4 期的诊断准确性。
