To explore the diagnostic value and diagnostic accuracy of 64-slice spiral CT on lymph node metastasis of gastric cancer
and provide theoretical reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
Methods:
A total of 82 cases of
gastric cancer patients admitted to Minhang Hospital
Fudan University from Jan. 2016 to Oct. 2018 and their imaging data were selected for study. 64-slice spiral CT was used for examination
and the postoperative pathological examination results were taken as the gold standard. The length
short diameter
short/long diameter of metastatic and non-metastatic lymph nodes were compared
as well as the values of plain
arterial
portal
and equilibrium phases. CT examination results and surgical pathological results were compared to analyze the CT scan and postoperative pathological N stages.
Results:
Among the 82 patients
60 had lymph node metastasis and 22 had no lymph node metastasis. During the operation
574 lymph nodes were removed
including 401 metastatic lymph nodes and 173 non-metastatic lymph nodes. The values of short diameter
short diameter/long diameter of metastatic lymph nodes and the values of scan stage
arterial stage
portal vein stage and equilibrium stage were all greater than those of non-metastatic lymph nodes
and the difference was statistically significant (
P
<0.05)
while the difference in length diameter was not statistically significant (
P
> 0.05). The CT diagnostic coincidence rate was 84.15% (69/82)
specificity 81.25% (13/16)
and sensitivity 84.85% (56/66)
and the difference was not statistically significant (
P
>0.05). Compared with postoperative pathological N staging
CT diagnosis accuracy of N
0
stage was 79.41% (27/34)
N
1
stage 75.00% (6/8)
N
2
stage 76.92% (10/13)
N
3a
stage 81.25% (13/16)
N
3b
stage 72.72% (8/11)
and total accuracy 78.05% (64/82).
Conclusion:
64-slice spiral CT is of high diagnostic value in the diagnosis and examination of lymph node metastasis of gastric cancer.
