F-FDG PET/MRI shows potential efficacy in the diagnosis of bladder cancer (BLCA). However, the performance of F-FDG PET/MRI in staging and neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) response evaluation for BLCA patients remains elusive. Here, we conduct this study to evaluate the performance of F-FDG PET/MRI and its derived parameters for tumor staging and NAT response prediction in BLCA. Forty BLCA patients were retrospectively enrolled to evaluate the performance of F-FDG PET/MRI in staging and NAT response prediction in BLCA. The feasibility of using 18F-FDG PET/MRI-related parameters for tumor staging and NAT response evaluation was also analyzed. In conclusion, F-FDG PET/MRI is found to show good performance in the BLCA staging and NAT response prediction. Moreover, ΔSUVmean is an efficacious candidate parameter for NAT response prediction. This study highlights that F-FDG PET/MRI is a promising imaging approach in the clinical diagnosis and treatment for BLCA.
F-FDG PET/MRI在膀胱癌(BLCA)诊断中显示出潜在疗效。然而,F-FDG PET/MRI在BLCA患者分期及新辅助治疗(NAT)反应评估中的表现仍不明确。在此,我们开展本研究以评估F-FDG PET/MRI及其衍生参数在BLCA肿瘤分期及NAT反应预测中的表现。回顾性纳入40例BLCA患者,以评估F-FDG PET/MRI在BLCA分期及NAT反应预测中的表现。还分析了使用18F-FDG PET/MRI相关参数进行肿瘤分期及NAT反应评估的可行性。总之,发现F-FDG PET/MRI在BLCA分期及NAT反应预测中表现良好。此外,ΔSUVmean是NAT反应预测的有效候选参数。本研究强调F-FDG PET/MRI在BLCA临床诊断和治疗中是一种有前景的成像方法。
