Abstract
Background:18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) imaging is not routine in patients with localized pancreatic cancer (PC). We evaluated the prognostic value of PET/CT in patients who received neoadjuvant therapy. Methods: Patients with localized PC underwent pretreatment PET/CT with or without posttreatment (preop) PET/CT. Maximum standardized uptake values (SUV) were classified as high or low based on a cut point of 7.5 at diagnosis (SUVdx) and 3.5 after neoadjuvant therapy (preoperative; SUVpreop). Preop carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) was classified as normal ( ≤ 35 U/mL) or elevated. Results: Pretreatment PET/CT imaging was performed on 201 consecutive patients; SUVdx was high in 98 (49%) and low in 103 (51%). Preop PET/CT was available in 104 (52%) of the 201 patients; SUVpreop was high in 60 (58%) and low in 44 (42%). Following neoadjuvant therapy, preop CA19-9 was normal in 90 (45%) patients and elevated in 111 (55%). Median overall survival (OS) of all patients was 27 months; 33 months for the 103 patients with a low SUVdx and 22 months for the 98 patients with a high SUVdx (p = 0.03). Median OS for patients with low SUVdx/normal preop CA19-9, high SUVdx/normal preop CA19-9, low SUVdx/elevated preop CA19-9, and high SUVdx/elevated preop CA19-9 were 66, 34, 23, and 17 months, respectively (p < 0.0001). OS was 44 months for the 148 (74%) patients who completed all intended neoadjuvant therapy and surgery and 13 months for the 53 (26%) who did not undergo surgery (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Pretreatment PET/CT avidity and preop CA19-9 are clinically significant prognostic markers in patients with PC.

Abstract
MRI provides considerable advantages for imaging of patients with peritoneal tumor. Its inherently superior contrast resolution compared with computed tomography allows MRI to more accurately depict small peritoneal tumors that are often missed on other imaging tests. Combining different contrast mechanisms, including diffusion-weighted MRI and gadolinium-enhanced MRI, provides a powerful tool for preoperative and surveillance imaging in patients being considered for cytoreductive surgery and heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy.

Advanced imaging to predict response to chemotherapy in colorectal liver metastases - a systematic review. HPB (Oxford) 2018; 20:120-127. [PMID: 29196021 DOI: 10.1016/j.hpb.2017.10.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/11/2017] [Revised: 10/24/2017] [Accepted: 10/27/2017] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The assessment of colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) after treatment with chemotherapy is challenging due to morphological and/or functional change without changes in size. The aim of this review was to assess the value of FDG-PET, FDG-PET-CT, CT and MRI in predicting response to chemotherapy in CRLM. METHODS A systematic review was undertaken based on PRISMA statement. PubMed and Embase were searched up to October 2016 for studies on the accuracy of PET, PET-CT, CT and MRI in predicting RECIST or metabolic response to chemotherapy and/or survival in patients with CRLM. Articles evaluating the assessment of response after chemotherapy were excluded. RESULTS Sixteen studies met the inclusion criteria and were included for further analysis. Study results were available for 6 studies for FDG-PET(-CT), 6 studies for CT and 9 studies for MRI. Generally, features predicting RECIST or metabolic response often predicted shorter survival. The ADC (apparent diffusion coefficient, on MRI) seems to be the most promising predictor of response and survival. In CT-related studies, few attenuation-related parameters and texture features show promising results. In FDG-PET(-CT), findings were ambiguous. CONCLUSION Radiological data on the prediction of response to chemotherapy for CRLM is relatively sparse and heterogeneous. Despite that, a promising parameter might be ADC. Second, there seems to be a seemingly counterintuitive correlation between parameters that predict a good response and also predict poor survival.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The impact of fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) for patients with colorectal liver metastases (CLM) still is debated. Its relevance could be enhanced in the case of recurrent disease. The current study aimed to elucidate the role of PET-CT in restaging and treatment planning for recurrent CLM. METHODS A series of 352 consecutive patients undergoing their first liver resection for CLM between 2005 and 2014 was reviewed. Of these patients, 224 (63.6 %) had a recurrence. The 107 patients who had received PET-CT at diagnosis of recurrence before chemotherapy were analyzed. CT was available in all cases, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was available in 64 cases. RESULTS Extrahepatic lesions were found in 59 patients. Liver and lung recurrences were detected with excellent sensitivity by CT/MRI and PET-CT (liver: 100 vs. 96.7 %; lung: 95.8 vs. 95.8 %). In detecting other recurrence sites, PET-CT had higher sensitivity than CT/MRI (91.5 vs. 54.2 %, p < 0.01; lymph nodes: 93.5 vs. 64.5 %, p = 0.011; peritoneum: 80 vs. 20 %, p = 0.023; bones: 87.5 vs. 37.5 %, nonsignificant difference). For 28.8 % (17/59) of the patients, the diagnosis of extrahepatic disease was obtained thanks to PET-CT (39.5 % considering nonpulmonary lesions). PET-CT modified treatment strategy in 16 (14.9 %) patients, excluding from surgery 15 (20.3 %) of 74 patients resectable at CT/MRI. This latter subgroup had a lower survival rate than the patients resectable after PET-CT (2-year survival, 22.7 vs. 77.8 %; p = 0.004), similar to the patients unresectable at CT/MRI (57.6 %). CONCLUSIONS In the authors' experience, PET-CT has offered a relevant contribution to restaging of recurrent CLM. It disclosed one fourth of extrahepatic lesions and prevented worthless surgery for about 20 % of patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Clinical practice guidelines regarding follow-up in patients after curative resection of colorectal cancer (CRC) vary widely. Current follow-up recommendations do not include additional postoperative imaging before starting adjuvant treatment in any patients. We evaluated the potential benefit of our institutional approach, recommending 18fluor-deoxy-glucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET)-computed tomography (CT) imaging in CRC stage III patients with ≥4 locoregional lymph node metastases (pN2). PATIENTS AND METHODS Our study included all patients from a single center with complete resection of a pT1-4, pN2, cM0 CRC. All patients were considered free of distant metastases on the basis of preoperative CT imaging of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis. The main objective of the present study was to assess the proportion of patients with changes of therapeutic management (defined as any other treatment than the preplanned adjuvant chemotherapy) because of the results of additional postoperative FDG-PET-CT imaging. RESULTS Fifty patients (22 female/28 male) were included; the median age was 64 years (range, 37-78 years). Previously undiagnosed metastatic disease resulting in a change of the therapeutic management was detected using postoperative FDG-PET-CT imaging in 7 patients (14.0%; 95% confidence interval, 5.8%-26.7%). The number needed to screen to detect new or previously occult metastases was 7 (7 of 50). CONCLUSION To our knowledge, this is the first study to evaluate the role of an additional postoperative FDG-PET-CT scan before adjuvant treatment in patients with completely resected CRC with ≥4 lymph node metastases (pT1-4, pN2) and without distant metastases on preoperative CT imaging (cM0). Postoperative FDG-PET-CT imaging represents a valuable tool for the detection of new macrometastases in the subgroup of pN2 cM0 CRC patients. The low number needed to screen for consequent therapeutic changes is clinically relevant and should be further evaluated.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of the present study is to evaluate Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1, tumor attenuation criteria, Choi criteria, and European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) PET criteria as measures of response and subsequent predictors of liver progression-free survival (PFS) after radioembolization (RE) of colorectal liver metastases (CLM). The study also assesses interobserver variability for measuring tumor attenuation using a single 2D ROI on a simple PACS workstation. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a retrospective review of the clinical RE database at our institution, to identify patients treated in the salvage setting for CLM between December 2009 and March 2013. Response was evaluated on FDG PET scans, with the use of EORTC PET criteria, and on portal venous phase CT scans, with the use of RECIST 1.1, tumor attenuation criteria, and Choi criteria. Two independent blinded observers measured tumor attenuation using a single 2D ROI. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) for interobserver variability was assessed. Kaplan-Meier methodology was used to calculate liver PFS, and the log-rank test was used to assess the response criteria as predictors of liver PFS. RESULTS A total of 25 patients with 46 target tumors were enrolled in the study. The ICC was 0.95 at baseline and 0.98 at response evaluation. Among the 25 patients, more responders (i.e., partial response) were identified on the basis of EORTC PET criteria (n = 14), Choi criteria (n = 15), and tumor attenuation criteria (n = 13) than on the basis of RECIST 1.1 (n = 2). The median liver PFS was 3.0 months (95% CI, 2.1-4.0 months). Response identified on the basis of EORTC PET criteria (p < 0.001), Choi criteria (p < 0.001), or tumor attenuation criteria (p = 0.01) predicted liver PFS; however, response identified by RECIST 1.1 did not (p = 0.1). CONCLUSION RECIST 1.1 has poor sensitivity for detecting metabolic responses classified by EORTC PET criteria. EORTC PET criteria, Choi criteria, and tumor attenuation criteria appear to be equally reliable surrogate imaging biomarkers of liver PFS after RE in patients with CLM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to investigate the use and value of maximum standardized uptake value (SUV max) on positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) images as a prognostic marker for patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC). MATERIALS AND METHODS The medical records of all consecutive patients who underwent PET/CT examination in our institution were retrospectively reviewed. Inclusion criteria were histologically or cytologically proven LAPC. Patients with distant metastasis were excluded. For statistical analysis, the SUV max of primary pancreatic cancer was measured. Survival rates were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and multivariable analysis was performed to determine the association of SUV max with overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) using a Cox proportional hazards model. RESULTS Between July 2006 and June 2013, 69 patients were enrolled in the present study. OS and PFS were 14.9 months [95% confidence interval (CI) 13.1-16.7] and 8.3 months (95% CI 7.1-9.5), respectively. A high SUV max (>5.5) was observed in 35 patients, who had significantly worse OS and PFS than the remaining patients with a low SUV max (P = 0.025 and P = 0.003). Univariate analysis showed that SUV max and tumor size were prognostic factors for OS, with a hazard ratio of 1.90 and 1.81, respectively. A high SUV max was an independent prognostic factor, with a hazard ratio of 1.89 (95% CI 1.015-3.519, P = 0.045). CONCLUSION The present study suggests that increased SUV max is a predictor of poor prognosis in patients with LAPC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Debate on the optimal mode of preoperative imaging in the management of colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) is ongoing and, despite its longstanding use, the precise role of intraoperative ultrasonography (IOUS) is not well established. This study evaluates the impact of IOUS in the era of high-quality, cross-sectional imaging techniques. METHODS All patients who underwent liver resection for CRLM in a tertiary care referral centre from January 2006 to December 2013 were included. All patients were submitted to computed tomography (CT) and/or liver magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) before surgery. Intraoperative US was performed mainly to detect previously non-diagnosed tumours that would change the surgical strategy. RESULTS A total of 225 liver resections were performed. Liver MRI and CT scans were available for 202 patients (89.8%) and 225 patients (100%), respectively. Radiological reports recorded 632 liver tumours in 219 patients (i.e. 2.9 lesions per patient). The median time between preoperative liver MRI and surgical resection was 36 days. Intraoperative inspection, palpation and US found 20 additional lesions in 18 patients (8.0%), in three of whom lesions were diagnosed only on IOUS (1.4%). Overall, only 12 of the 20 lesions were malignant. CONCLUSIONS Although CT and liver MRI are commonly used, IOUS alone allows the discovery of a few additional lesions that result in a change of surgical strategy in 1.4% of cases.
