Oral contrast-enhanced ultrasound (OCEUS) is widely used in the noninvasive diagnosis and screening of gastric cancer (GC) in China.
To investigate the clinical application of OCEUS in evaluating the preoperative T staging of gastric cancer.
OCEUS was performed before the operation, and standard ultrasound images were retained. The depth of infiltration of GC (T-stage) was evaluated according to the American Joint Committee on Cancer 8 edition of the tumor-node-metastasis staging criteria. Finally, with postoperative pathological staging as the gold standard reference, the sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value, positive predictive value, and diagnostic value of OCEUS T staging were evaluated.
OCEUS achieved diagnostic accuracy rates of 76.6% (T1a), 69.6% (T1b), 62.7% (T2), 60.8% (T3), 88.0% (T4a), and 88.7% (T4b), with an average of 75.5%. Ultrasonic T staging sensitivity exceeded 62%, aside from T1b at 40.3%, while specificity was over 91%, except for T3 with 83.5%. The Youden index was above 60%, with T1b and T2 being exceptions. OCEUS T staging corresponded closely with pathology in T4b (kappa > 0.75) and moderately in T1a, T1b, T2, T3, and T4a (kappa 0.40-0.75), registering a concordance rate exceeding 84%.
OCEUS was effective, reliable, and accurate in diagnosing the preoperative T staging of GC. As a noninvasive diagnostic technique, OCEUS merits clinical popularization.
口服超声造影(OCEUS)在中国被广泛应用于胃癌(GC)的非侵入性诊断和筛查。
探讨 OCEUS 在评估胃癌术前 T 分期中的临床应用。
在手术前进行 OCEUS,并保留标准超声图像。根据美国癌症联合委员会第 8 版肿瘤-淋巴结-转移分期标准评估 GC 的浸润深度(T 分期)。最后,以术后病理分期为金标准参考,评估 OCEUS T 分期的灵敏度、特异度、阴性预测值、阳性预测值和诊断价值。
OCEUS 对 T1a、T1b、T2、T3、T4a 和 T4b 的诊断准确率分别为 76.6%、69.6%、62.7%、60.8%、88.0%和 88.7%,平均为 75.5%。超声 T 分期的灵敏度除 T1b 为 40.3%外均超过 62%,特异性除 T3 为 83.5%外均超过 91%。Youden 指数均超过 60%,T1b 和 T2 除外。OCEUS T 分期与 T4b 的病理结果密切相关(kappa>0.75),与 T1a、T1b、T2、T3 和 T4a 的病理结果中度相关(kappa 0.40-0.75),符合率超过 84%。
OCEUS 对 GC 术前 T 分期的诊断有效、可靠、准确。作为一种非侵入性诊断技术,OCEUS 值得临床推广。
