Abstract:

Objective

To investigate the value of energy spectrum CT parameters in preoperative differentiation of stage T3 and T4a gastric cancer.

Methods

A total of 52 patients with gastric adenocarcinoma diagnosed by surgical pathology in First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from July 2015 to September 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 23 cases were stage T3 and 29 cases were stage T4a. The general clinical data, perigastric fat, iodine concentration (IC) value and normalized iodine concentration (nIC) value of patients at T3 and T4a stage were compared. The logistic regression analysis was used to analyzed the independent risk factors of T4a gastric cancer. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to evaluate the discrimination efficiency of energy spectrum CT for T4a gastric cancer.

Results

There were significant differences in primary differentiation degree and Borrmann classification between T3 and T4a gastric cancer patients (both P<0.05). The IC value and nIC value of perigastric fat space in arterial and venous phases of T4a gastric cancer patients were higher than those of T3 gastric cancer patients (all P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that IC values in arterial and venous phases were independent risk indexes for T4a gastric cancer (P<0.05). The area under ROC curve (AUC) of IC and nIC value of perigastric fat space in arterial and venous phases were 0.888, 0.850, 0.853 and 0.844, respectively, and the critical value of IC=-10.8 in arterial phase was the best for the diagnosis of T4a stage gastric cancer.

Conclusions

The IC value of perigastric fat space in arterial and venous phases can be used to differentiate T3 and T4a gastric cancer. Abdominal energy spectrum CT can improve the accuracy of preoperative diagnosis of T staging of gastric cancer and provide more basis for the selection of preoperative treatment.
