ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the value of multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT) in preoperatively predicting peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer and to evaluate the indication for laparoscopic staging of gastric cancer on the basis of MDCT features.METHODS:
Six hundred and forty gastric cancer patients underwent preoperative MDCT examination, and the results of MDCT were compared with surgical and pathological findings. In addition, the relationship between MDCT features (depth of invasion, lymph node metastasis status, tumor size, and thickness of tumor) and peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer was analyzed.RESULTS:
The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy of MDCT in predicting peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer were 51.0% (25/49), 99.3% (587/591), 86.2% (25/29), 96.1% (587/611), and 95.6% (612/640), respectively. Univariable analysis showed that all the four MDCT features (depth of invasion, lymph node metastasis status, tumor size, and tumor thickness) of gastric cancer were significantly correlated with the peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer. None of the patients diagnosed with stage T(0~2)N(x)M(0) or T(x)N(0)M(0) gastric cancer by MDCT were found to have peritoneal metastasis. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis showed that the accuracy of the tumor size and thickness of gastric cancer in determining peritoneal metastasis was high(area under ROC curve was 0.83 and 0.75, respectively). Multivariable analysis showed that only tumor size was significantly correlated with the peritoneal metastasis from gastric cancer.CONCLUSIONS:
The clinical value of MDCT in preoperative prediction of peritoneal metastasis from gastric cancer is favorable. Laparoscopy can be avoided in patients with small tumor size or stage T(0~2)N(x)M(0) or T(x)N(0)M(0) gastric cancer diagnosed by MDCT due to lower incidence of peritoneal metastasis.
