Abstract
Objective To investigate the predictive value of metabolic tumor volume (MTV) in angiogenesis and hematoge‐nous metastasis of patients with colorectal cancer .Methods Totally 108 patients with colorectal cancer from January 2011 to De‐cember 2015 were enrolled into the study and divided into metastasis group (n=42) and non‐metastasis group (n=66) according to whether combining with hematogenous metastasis .All patients received 18 F‐2‐fluoro‐D‐glucose positron emission tomography/com‐puted tomography (18F‐FDG PET/CT) before operation ,then used the PET VERA software to automatically calculate MTV ac‐cording to the 40% of standard uptake value max(SUVmax ) as the threshold .The blood vessels were identified with CD34+ immu‐nohistochemical staining ,then measured the microvessel density (MVD) .The clinical pathologic data ,SUVmax ,MTV and MVD were compared between metastasis group and non‐metastasis group .The area under the receiver‐operating characteristic curve (AUC) was performed to evaluate the predictive value of MTV on hematogenous metastasis .Results SUVmax ,MTV and MVD in metastasis group were significantly higher than that in non‐metastasis group (P<0 .05) .There were significant differences in MTV and MVD among patients with different T stage (P<0 .05) .Pearson correlation analysis results showed that MTV was positively correlated with MVD (r=0 .636 ,P<0 .001) ,and there was no significant relationship between MTV and SUVmax (r= 0 .161 ,P=0 .096>0 .05) ,MVD and SUVmax (r=0 .179 ,P=0 .064>0 .05) .AUC of MTV was 0 .736 ,and the best threshold value was 15 .016 cm3 ,whose sensitivity ,specificity ,positive predictive value ,negative predictive value and Youden index were 83 .3% ,63 .6% , 59 .3% ,85 .7% and 47 .0% respectively .Conclusion Compared with SUVmax ,MTV of colorectal cancer is associated with angio‐genesis and hematogenous metastasis ,so as to predict the prognosis of colorectal cancer ,which is worthy of clinical application .关键词
