Spectral CT Combined With MSI for Predicting Regional Lymph Node Metastasis in Gastric Cancer

April 27, 2026 updated by: Yunnan Cancer Hospital
This study prospectively collected spectral CT imaging data and clinical information related to gastric cancer, evaluated the diagnostic efficacy of its image quality for regional lymph nodes in gastric cancer, and explored its application value in the N staging of gastric cancer with different MSI statuses, so as to provide a more accurate evidence for clinical diagnosis, promote the development of individualized treatment for gastric cancer, and ultimately improve the prognosis of patients.

Experimental: Spectral CT combined with MSI for predicting regional lymph node metastasis in gastric cancer
Medical images and clinical data related to gastric cancer were prospectively collected using a Philips Quark CT scanner, and its diagnostic accuracy and clinical application value in gastric cancer patients with different MSI statuses were evaluated to achieve accurate staging of gastric cancer. Patients diagnosed with gastric cancer at Yunnan Cancer Hospital from August 2025 to December 2026 were consecutively enrolled. After undergoing Philips Quark CT scanning, the N stage of gastric cancer was independently assessed by two radiologists, and statistical analysis was subsequently performed for the final results.
Abdominal CT scans were performed in addition to conventional treatment regimens
