摘要:
目的 探讨动态增强MR联合高分辨率MR对直肠腺癌淋巴结转移的临床价值。 方法 纳入上海交通大学附属第一人民医院2018年1月~2022年12月收治的196例经病理证实为直肠癌患者的临床资料,所有患者均在该院完成高分辨率MRI和动态增强扫描MRI检查。根据术后病理将患者分为无淋巴结转移组(n=124)和淋巴结转移组(n=72),分析两组间临床特征、动态增强MR定量参数和高分辨率MR影像表现的差异,采用Logistic回归分析筛选预测直肠癌淋巴结转移的因素,采用ROC曲线计算不同参数预测淋巴结转移的效能。 结果 单因素Logistic回归分析显示,直肠腺癌淋巴结转移的危险因素是年龄 < 59.5岁(OR:0.329)、N分期MR影像学表现(mrN stage)为N1-N2期(OR:6.857)、癌胚抗原异常(OR:2.742)、T分期MR影像学表现(mrT stage)为T3期(OR:2.959)、mrMRF受累阳性(OR:5.577)、动态增强扫描MRI定量参数Ktrans < 0.298 min-1(OR:0.210)及mr EMVI阳性(OR:2.261)。多因素Logistic回归分析显示mrN stage阳性和Ktrans是直肠腺癌淋巴结转移的独立预测因素;mrN stage+Ktrans预测直肠腺癌淋巴结转移的AUC(0.788)高于单独的mrN stage(0.713)及Ktrans(0.650)。 结论 动态增强MR定量参数Ktrans联合mrN stage能够提高直肠腺癌淋巴结转移患者的预测能力。 -

Abstract:Objective To investigate the clinical value of dynamic contrast-enhanced MR combined with high resolution MR in lymph node metastasis of rectal adenocarcinoma. Methods Clinical data of 262 patients with pathologically confirmed rectal cancer admitted to the First People's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University from January 2018 to December 2022 were collected. All patients underwent high resolution MR and contrast-enhanced MR in the hospital. According to postoperative pathology, the patients were divided into two groups: no lymph node metastasis group (n=124) and lymph node metastasis group (n=72). The differences in clinical features, quantitative parameters of dynamic contrast-enhanced MR and high resolution MR between the two groups were analyzed, and the factors predicting lymph node metastasis of rectal cancer were screened by Logistic regression analysis. ROC curve was used to calculate the efficacy of different parameters in predicting lymph node metastasis. Results Univariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the risk factors for lymph node metastasis of rectal adenocarcinoma were age < 59.5 years old (OR: 0.329), mrN stage N1-N2 (OR: 6.857)、abnormal carcinoembryonic antigen (OR: 2.742), mrT stage T3 (OR: 2.959), mrMRF positive (OR: 5.577), Quantitative parameter Ktrans of dynamic contrast-enhanced MR < 0.298 min-1 (OR: 0.210) and mr EMVI positive (OR: 2.261). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that mrN stage positive and Ktrans were independent predictors of lymph node metastasis in colorectal adenocarcinoma. The AUC of mrN stage + Ktrans (0.788) in predicting lymph node metastasis of rectal adenocarcinoma was higher than single mrN stage (0.713) and Ktrans (0.650). Conclusion Quantitative parameter Ktrans of dynamic contrast-enhanced MR combined with mrN stage can improve the prediction ability of patients with rectal adenocarcinoma lymph node metastasis. -
