Abstract
PURPOSE
To evaluate the diagnostic value of serum CA125 combined with 18F-FDG PET/CT in ovarian cancer (OC) and tuberculous peritonitis (TBP) in female patients and to establish a diagnostic scoring system.
METHOD
A total of 86 female patients (64 OC and 22 TBP) were included in this study. Serum CA125, PET/CT maximal intensity projection (MIP), maximal standardized uptake value, ovarian mass, ascites volume, and other indicators were analyzed and a diagnostic scoring system was established according to the weights of statistically significant indicators.
RESULTS
Univariate analysis showed that serum CA125 in OC and TBP patients were 2079.9 ± 1651.3 U/mL and 448.3 ± 349.5 U/mL (P < 0.001). In MIP images, abdominal lesions were focal distribution in 92.2% (59/64) of OC patients and diffuse distribution in 95.5% (21/22) of TBP patients (P < 0.001). Ovarian masses could be observed in 82.8% (53/64) OC patients and 31.8% (7/22) TBP patients (P <0.001). The other indicators were not statistically significant. Logistic regression analysis showed that serum CA125 and MIP were independent risk factors for diagnosis. A diagnostic scoring system could be established based on serum CA125, MIP and ovarian mass, and the diagnostic sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value were 98.4% (63/64), 95.5% (21/22), 97.7% (84/86), 98.4% (63/64), and 95.5% (21/22), respectively.
CONCLUSION
Serum CA125 combined with PET/CT is of great value in the diagnosis of OC and TBP. A simple and efficient diagnostic scoring system can be established using serum CA125, MIP image feature, and ovarian mass.
