Abstract
Objective: This study aims to analyze the performance of endorectal ultrasound (ERUS) combined with shear wave elastography (SWE) for rectal tumor staging.
Methods: Forty patients with rectal tumors who had surgery were enrolled. They underwent ERUS and SWE examinations before surgery. Pathological results were used as the gold standard for tumor staging. The stiffness values of the rectal tumor, peritumoral fat, distal normal intestinal wall, and distal perirectal fat were analyzed. The diagnostic accuracy of ERUS stage, tumor SWE stage, ERUS combined with tumor SWE stage, and ERUS combined with peritumoral fat SWE stage were compared and evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve to select the best staging index.
Results: From T1 to T3 stage, the maximum elasticity (Emax) of the rectal tumor increased gradually (p < 0.05). The cut-off values of adenoma/T1 and T2, T2 and T3 tumors were 36.75 and 85.15kPa, respectively. The diagnostic coincidence rate of tumor SWE stage was higher than that of ERUS stage. Overall diagnostic accuracy of ERUS combined with peritumoral fat SWE Emax restaging was significantly higher than that of ERUS.
Conclusions: ERUS combined with peritumoral fat SWE Emax for tumor restaging can effectively distinguish between stage T2 and T3 rectal tumors, which provides an effective imaging basis for clinical decisions.
期刊介绍：
Clinical Hemorheology and Microcirculation, a peer-reviewed international scientific journal, serves as an aid to understanding the flow properties of blood and the relationship to normal and abnormal physiology. The rapidly expanding science of hemorheology concerns blood, its components and the blood vessels with which blood interacts. It includes perihemorheology, i.e., the rheology of fluid and structures in the perivascular and interstitial spaces as well as the lymphatic system. The clinical aspects include pathogenesis, symptomatology and diagnostic methods, and the fields of prophylaxis and therapy in all branches of medicine and surgery, pharmacology and drug research.
The endeavour of the Editors-in-Chief and publishers of Clinical Hemorheology and Microcirculation is to bring together contributions from those working in various fields related to blood flow all over the world. The editors of Clinical Hemorheology and Microcirculation are from those countries in Europe, Asia, Australia and America where appreciable work in clinical hemorheology and microcirculation is being carried out. Each editor takes responsibility to decide on the acceptance of a manuscript. He is required to have the manuscript appraised by two referees and may be one of them himself. The executive editorial office, to which the manuscripts have been submitted, is responsible for rapid handling of the reviewing process.
Clinical Hemorheology and Microcirculation accepts original papers, brief communications, mini-reports and letters to the Editors-in-Chief. Review articles, providing general views and new insights into related subjects, are regularly invited by the Editors-in-Chief. Proceedings of international and national conferences on clinical hemorheology (in original form or as abstracts) complete the range of editorial features.
