PET-CT Predicting Segement Specific Lymph Nodes Metastasis

October 7, 2023 updated by: Haiquan Chen, Fudan University

The Value of PET-CT in Predicting Segement Specific Lymph Nodes Metastasis in Non Small Cell Lung Cancer

This study is a multicenter prospective clinical study that aims to evaluate the predictive value of preoperative PET-CT results (such as SUV uptake, size of tumor lymph nodes, and differences in FDG uptake compared to surrounding tissues) for lymph node metastasis in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. During surgery, all patients underwent systematic mediastinal lymph node dissection. The final pathological results were used to assess the predictive value of PET-CT for segment-specific lymph node metastasis.

Patients had non small cell lung cancer received surgery and systematic lymph node dissection.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Solitary tumor, or multiple tumors with only ground-glass nodules (GGNs) apart from the primary lesion.
  • Diameter of the primary lesion ≤5cm, with a CTR between 0.5 and 1.
  • No enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes observed on preoperative contrast-enhanced CT.
  • Pathological confirmation of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) either before or during surgery.
  • Systematic lymph node dissection performed during surgery.
  • No prior radiotherapy or chemotherapy for initial treatment.
  • No history of malignant tumors.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Locally advanced or distant metastasis.
  • Pleural dissemination observed during surgery.
  • History of malignant tumors.
  • Received neoadjuvant therapy.
  • Systematic lymph node dissection not performed during surgery.
  • Histopathological examination reveals lung malignancies other than non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
