回顾并分析2015年3月—2021年7月上海交通大学医学院附属新华医院收治的24例难以手术完全切除的腹膜后NB患儿的临床资料、肿瘤超声影像和超声引导穿刺活检的资料。采用Image J软件测得取样区肿瘤内血流面积占比(blood flow area ratio,BFAR),以评估肿瘤微血管的丰富程度;以穿刺病理学诊断为标准统计分析SMI引导穿刺活检的取样成功率;应用儿童神经母细胞瘤诊疗专家共识2015版中的肿瘤疗效评估标准、肿瘤标志物测定以及化疗后肿瘤根治术后病理学检查评价穿刺活检病理学诊断的准确度。
To explore the value of superb microvascular imaging (SMI) in improving tumor microvasculature imaging and the accuracy of ultrasound guided puncture biopsy in children with retroperitoneal neuroblastoma (NB).
Methods:
This retrospective study involved the analysis of the clinical data
tumor
ultrasound imaging
and ultrasound-guided puncture biopsy results of 24 children with unresectable retroperitoneal NB in Xinhua Hospital
Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from March 2015 to July 2021. The tumor microvasculature was assessed by measuring the percentage of tumor flow area within the region of interest blood flow area ratio (BFAR ) by Image J software. The biopsy adequacy rate of SMI targeted biopsy was evaluated using biopsy histopathology as reference standard. The Expert Consensus on Diagnosing and Treating Neuroblastoma in Children (CCCG-NB-2015 Regimen)
tumor biomarker and surgical histopathology after chemotherapy were used to assess the accuracy of SMI targeted biopsy.
Results:
The BFAR value of SMI was significantly higher than that of the color Doppler flow imaging and color Doppler energy imaging (14.74%
3.17%
5.88%
respectively
P
<0.001). All 24 SMI targeted biopsy procedures successfully confirmed the diagnosis of NB
with 83.3% adequate for subtype classification and 100.0% adequate for
MYCN
gene amplification analysis. Among the 20 patients with tumor subtypes confirmed on biopsy
18 of them were categorized to partial response and 2were categorized to stable disease. Among the 4 patients whose tumor subtype could not be confirmed on biopsy
2 of them were categorized to partial response and the rest 2 were categorized to stable disease.
Conclusion:
With significant improvement in the depiction of tumor vasculature
SMI guided puncture biopsy is of great importance in improving the accuracy of histopathology results
especially for tumor subtype classification and genetic alternation.
