January 9, 2017 updated by: Lin Chen, Chinese PLA General Hospital

Comparing the Diagnostic Role of 18F-FDG PET/MRI and of 18F-FDG PET/CT Among Patients With Gastric Cancer:A Randomized Controlled Trial

The results of PET/MRI and PET/CT in each recruited gastric cancer patients will be compared.

Study Overview

Status

Unknown

Intervention / Treatment

Detailed Description

A prospective comparison of PET/MRI and PET/CT for gastric cancer will be performed,to evaluate the value of PET/MRI in predicting the preoperative staging and resectability of gastric cancer and investigate the role of PET/MRI in gastric cancer diagnosis.The evaluation parameters are the diagnostic accuracy of gastric cancer staging( including the overall accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity) and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC).

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Gastric cancer
Each patient will perform a PET/MRI examination,and in the next day,a PET/CT.All the examinations are performed before the operation.
The recruited patients will receive a PET/MRI examination to evaluation the stage and resectability of the cancer.
Other Names:
  • Positron emission tomography-magnetic resonance imaging
At the next day of PET/MRI examination,A PET/CT examination will be performed.
Other Names:
  • Positron emission tomography-computed tomography

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The results of the PET/MRI and PET/CT examination
Time Frame: 3 days
Two experienced radiologists independently assess the TNM staging of gastric cancer using preoperative PET/MRI and PET/CT images
3 days

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Histopathological diagnosis
Time Frame: 5 days
including definitely T stage in Tx, number of regional lymph node metastasis,result of histologic subtypes of carcinoma,result of other cytological examination.
5 days
Results of CT/Endoscopic ultrasound(EUS) image
Time Frame: 3 days
Experienced radiologists assess definitely T stage in Tx, number of regional lymph node metastasis,with or without distant metastasis.
3 days
Numerical values of Standard uptake value(SUV)
Time Frame: 3 days
Standard uptake value(SUV) is defined as the ratio of the image derived radioactivity concentration and the whole body concentration of the injected radioactivity.
3 days
Apparent Diffusion Coefficient(ADC)
Time Frame: 3 days
Apparent Diffusion Coefficient(ADC) will be measured using a curved Placement of region of interest(ROI) to include the high signal and be read out on ADC maps by Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI or DW-MRI) analysis software.
3 days
The expression level of Receptor tyrosine-protein kinase erbB-2(HER2)
Time Frame: 5 days
Acquire from pathology results
5 days
The expression level of Receptors for vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGFR)
Time Frame: 5 days
Acquire from pathology results
5 days
Follow-up data
Time Frame: at lest 6 months
results of conventional imaging examination and tumor biomarkers examination.
at lest 6 months
