Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the correlation of CT enhancement parameters with Fuhrman grade in T1 (≤7 cm) clear cell renal carcinoma(ccRCC).Methods From September 2011 to November 2017,102 post-operation cases in our hospital proven to be T1 ccRCC were retrospectively analyzed.There were 71 males and 31 females,with a mean age of (59.1 ± 12.7)years (26 ～79 years),mean body mass index(BMI) of (24.0 ± 2.8)kg/m2 (14.3 ～ 31.6 kg/m2).Tumors of 55 patients were in left kidneys,47 in right kidneys.Fuhrman grade 1 and 2 were defined as low-grade group,meanwhile high-grade group included grade 3 and 4.There were 46 males and 21 females in low-grade group,with a mean age of (59.0 ± 13.2) years,mean BMI of (24.0 ± 2.9) kg/m2.In high-grade group,there were 25 males and 10 females,with a mean age of (58.8 ± 11.8) years,mean BMI of (24.2 ± 2.7) kg/m2.The maximum diameter and tumor enhancement value (TEVX),relative enhancement value (REVX) were measured and calculated.In arterial phase,X =1;in venous phase X =2.The total consumption amount of iodine was recorded.Comparisons of maximum diameter,TEV1,TEV2,REV1,REV2 and the total consumption of iodine between the two different groups were performed.The ROC curves of TEV1,TEV2,REV1,and REV2 were drawn to predict the grade of tumors..Results The TEV1 [(146.1 ± 29.1) HU vs.(100.2 ± 32.1) HU],TEV2 [(98.2 ± 22.9) HU vs.(75.6 ± 25.7) HU],REV1 (1.12 ± 0.24 vs.0.70 ± 0.16),REV2(0.67 ± 0.17 vs.0.54 ± 0.18) between low-grade group and high-grade group had statistical difference (P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in the maximum diameter[(41.8 ± 15.4)mm vs.(45.3 ± 17.0)mm] and the total consumption of iodine [(33.3 ± 5.0)g vs.(34.2 ± 4.4)g] between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).The area under ROC curve of TEV1,TEV2,REV1 and REV2 were 0.856,0.755,0.901 and 0.728,respectively.REV1 had the highest distinguish efficiency and the best critical value was 0.93.Conclusions The enhancement parameters of T1 ccRCC could contribute to predicting the Fuhrman grade.When the REV1 ≤0.93,the tumor tended to be high-grade tumor(Fuhrman grade 3-4).
