OBJECTIVETo investigate the diagnostic value of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) in preoperative Borrmann classification of gastric cancer.
METHODSAsulfur hexafluonde-filled microbubble ultrasound contrast agent and continuous real-time imaging technique of contrast pulse sequencing were used. Two hundred and eighty-five patients with gastric cancer confirmed by biopsies who received preoperative CEUS examination were involved in this study. CEUS results were compared with postoperative pathological findings.
RESULTSThe accuracy rate of CEUS in determining the Borrmann classification of gastric cancer was 92.3%(263/285). The accuracy rates of BorrmannI(, II(, III(, IIII(, and IIIII( were 100%(12/12), 90.6%(77/85), 92.6%(126/136), 95.7%(45/47), and 60.0%(3/5) respectively.
CONCLUSIONCEUS is a useful diagnostic method for preoperative Borrmann classification of gastric cancer.
