Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the accuracy of MSCT in the pre-operative N-staging and diagnosis of metastatic lymph nodes in each group of gastric cancer.Methods Pathological and CT data of 91 patients with gastric cancer proved by surgery and pathology were analyzed retrospectively.Three-phase dynamic enhancements were performed before surgery in a unified way of hypotonic oral water,N-stage and grouping of lymph nodes of the preoperative CT imaging were evaluated by using the established diagnostic criteria and then compared with the results of surgery and pathology,the accuracy of staging and grouping was analyzed by using Kappa test.Results The accuracy of MSCT diagnosing the N-staging as a whole was 86.3%.The accuracy for N0,N1,N2 and N3 was 83.5%,89.0%,83.5% and 89.0%,respectively.The sensitivity was 86.5%,83.3%,50% and 47.4%,respectively.The specificity was 79.5%,89.4%,89.6% and 100.0%, respectively.The sensitivity for N0 was statistically different from that for N2, N0 and N3(P≤0.007).The detected accuracy for the group of left side of the cardium (No.2), periphery of the splenic hilum (No.10), posterior of the pancreastic head (No.13) were higher than other groups on MSCT with the accuracyof 100%.The sensitivity for the group of No.2,periphery of the coeliac trunk(No.9),No.10,and No.13 was 100%.The specificity for the group of No.2,No.10,and No.13 was 98.9%.Conclusion Relatively high accuracy in the preoperative N-staging and diagnosis of metastatic lymph nodes in each group of gastric cancer can be obtained by MSCT, which provide reliable information for preoperative assessment and intraoperative lymph node dissections.
