Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this article was to investigate the value of combined MRI, enhanced CT and 18F-FDG PET/CT in the diagnosis of recurrence and metastasis after surgery for ovarian cancer.
Methods: Ninety-five ovarian cancer patients were selected as the study subjects, all of them underwent surgical treatment, and MRI, enhanced CT and 18F-FDG PET/CT were performed on all of them in the postoperative follow-up, and the pathological results after the second operation were used as the diagnostic "gold standard". The diagnostic value (sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, negative predictive value and positive predictive value) of the three examination methods alone or in combination for the diagnosis of postoperative recurrence and metastasis of ovarian cancer was compared, and the detection rate was calculated when the lesion was the unit of study, so as to compare the efficacy of the three methods in the diagnosis of postoperative recurrent metastatic lesions of ovarian cancer.
Results: The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of the combined group were higher than those of MRI and enhanced CT for recurrence and metastasis of ovarian cancer after surgery, and the specificity, accuracy and positive predictive value of the combined group were higher than those of the 18F-FDG PET/CT group, and those of the 18F-FDG PET/CT group were higher than those of the enhanced CT group (all P < 0.05). When the postoperative recurrent metastatic lesions of ovarian cancer were used as the study unit, the detection rate of lesions in the combined group was higher than that of the three examinations detected individually, and the detection rate of lesions in 18F-FDG PET/CT was higher than that of enhanced CT and MRI (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: The combination of MRI, enhanced CT and 18F-FDG PET/CT can accurately diagnose recurrence and metastasis of ovarian cancer after surgery, detect recurrent metastatic lesions as early as possible, and improve patients' prognosis.
期刊介绍:
Clinical and Translational Oncology is an international journal devoted to fostering interaction between experimental and clinical oncology. It covers all aspects of research on cancer, from the more basic discoveries dealing with both cell and molecular biology of tumour cells, to the most advanced clinical assays of conventional and new drugs. In addition, the journal has a strong commitment to facilitating the transfer of knowledge from the basic laboratory to the clinical practice, with the publication of educational series devoted to closing the gap between molecular and clinical oncologists. Molecular biology of tumours, identification of new targets for cancer therapy, and new technologies for research and treatment of cancer are the major themes covered by the educational series. Full research articles on a broad spectrum of subjects, including the molecular and cellular bases of disease, aetiology, pathophysiology, pathology, epidemiology, clinical features, and the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of cancer, will be considered for publication.
