Abstract

Positron emission tomography (PET) has the potential to improve staging and radiation treatment-planning (RTP) for tumors in various sites. We compared computed tomography (CT) with co-registered 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-PET-CT) as the basis for delineating gross tumor volume (GTV) in patients with rectal carcinoma undergoing preoperative three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT). Twenty-three patients diagnosed with localized rectal carcinoma who were candidates for preoperative chemoradiation were evaluated using both CT and PET imaging. For each patient, two 3D-CRT plans were created using the CT and PET-CT fusion data sets. GTV was contoured on both CT (GTVCT) and co-registered PET-CT (GTVPET-CT) images. The resulting GTVCT and GTVPET-CT images were analyzed comparatively. The median GTVPET-CT (40 cm3) was significantly greater than the median GTVCT (25.7 cm3) (p= 0.0001). The median difference between GTVPET-CT and GTVCT was 65%. The intersected tumor volume determined by the two methods was median 19.7 cm3, and tumor volumes remaining outside CT was median 15.2 cm3. The median volume identified by PET but not by CT (PEToutCT) was 35% of GTVPET-CT, indicating the possibility of a geographic miss in GTV. Co-registration of PET and CT information in localized rectal cancer may improve the delineation of GTV and theoretically reduce the likelihood of geographic misses, thus potentially having a positive impact on treatment planning.

Özet

Pozitron emisyon tomografisi (PET) birçok tümörün evrelenmesi ve radyoterapi planlamasında potansiyel bir kazanç sağlamıştır. Rektum kanserinin preoperatif konformal radyoterapisi öncesi bilgisayarlı tomografi (BT) ile 18F-fluorodeoksiglikoz positron emisyon tomografi/bilgisayalı tomografi (FDG-PET/BT) bazlı 3-boyutlu tedavi planlamaları karşılaştırılmıştır. Kliniğimizde rektum kanseri tanısı ile preoperatif kemoradyoterapi planlanan 23 hasta çalışmaya alınmıştır. Tüm hastaların tedavi öncesinde, tedavi pozisyonunda olacak şekilde PET ve BT görüntüleri elde edilmiştir. Her hastanın gros tümör volümü (GTV) önce BT (GTVCT), sonra PET/BT (GTVPET-CT) görüntülerinde konturlanmış; GTVCT ve GTVPET-CT değerleri ölçülmüştür. Ortanca GTVPET-CT (40 cm3), GTVCT (25.7 cm3)’den daha büyük olarak belirlenmiş ve aradaki fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulunmuştur (p = 0.0001). GTVPET-CT ve GTVCT arasındaki fark %65’ dir. Her iki yöntemle kesişen ortanca tümör volümü 19.7 cm3 ve BT dışı ortanca tümör volümü 15.2 cm3 olarak ölçülmüştür. BT dışı ortanca tümör volümü GTVPET-CT’nin %35’i olup tümörün coğrafik hata ile kaçırılabileceğini göstermektedir. Bu sonuçlar rektum kanserinin preoperatif konformal radyoterapi planlamasında PET/BT kullanımının hedef volümün daha doğru belirlenebilmesi ve coğrafik hatanın minimuma indirilmesinde önemli olduğunu düşündürmektedir.
