Oncologic Outcomes Based on Clinical Pattern of Preoperative PET-CT in Resected Pancreatic Cancer

January 9, 2019 updated by: Yonsei University

Oncologic Outcomes Based on Clinical Pattern of Preoperative PET-CT in Resected Pancreatic Cancer-Prospective Cohort Study

The 18F-FDG-PET scan is currently being used for cancer diagnosis, staging, identifying hidden metastasis, and assessment of treatment responses in clinical oncology. Although there are important studies suggesting potential associations between PET-based parameters and oncologic outcomes, the calculation and official documentation of individual PET-based parameters might not be routine in clinical practice because these processes usually require time- and labor-consuming processes for the radiologists. In this study, the investigators prospectively determined clinical 18F-FDG-PET type according to degree of FDG-uptake in pancreatic cancer and compare oncologic outcomes between the types.

Design Details

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
K-type
FDG uptake in pancreatic cancer is similar to that of kidney
PET-CT will be done before operation and that is routine treatment procedure for pancreatic cancer.
non K-type
FDG uptake in pancreatic cancer is lower than that of kidney
PET-CT will be done before operation and that is routine treatment procedure for pancreatic cancer.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Clinical PET type assessed by surgeons from preoperatively preformed PET imaging
Time Frame: 1 week after surgery
Three surgeons will review the preoperative PET imaging and each will determine the clinical PET type as either K-type or Non-K type. Inter-surgeon agreement of clinical PET type will be determined. Clinicopathologic characteristics between K-type and Non-K type will also be analyzed.
1 week after surgery

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Number of patients with recurrence of cancer or mortality from cancer following operation
Time Frame: 3 years
3 years
