多种影像学方法评价乳腺癌新辅助化疗疗效的价值比较

Comparision on the values of different image modalities in monitoring the response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer patients

  • 摘要: 影像学方法在乳腺癌新辅助化疗(NAC)疗效评价中具有重要地位。钼靶X线操作简单,曾是早期发现乳腺癌的简便、有效的方法,可显示微小钙化灶,但不常用于疗效评价;CT适应人群广、扫描时间短、密度分辨率高,后处理时可以三维重建以更好显示癌灶,可用于诊断及疗效评价;MRI具有多种参数和良好的软组织分辨率,可显示癌灶周围的微小浸润及炎症反应;超声无放射性、检查角度灵活、可重复性强,可以显示病灶和转移淋巴结的形态、结构及血流,并引导介入操作。PET/CT显像可以反映肿瘤细胞的代谢水平,其将分子代谢变化与解剖结构的准确定位相结合,在评估NAC疗效方面拥有更高的灵敏度及特异度,比单纯测量肿瘤大小的改变更准确。

     

    Abstract: Imaging examinations are important in monitoring the response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy(NAC) in breast cancer patients. Mammography is easy to operate, which used to be the predominant imaging procedure used for breast cancer screening. It has great advantage in the detection of calcification, but it is not commonly used in therapeutic evaluation. CT provides high-spatial resolution, clear anatomical structures and powerful reconstruction ability, and the post-processing 3D reconstruction can show cancer more clearly, which could be used for diagnosis and therapeutic evaluation. MRI gives various sequence parameters to choose and provides the best soft tissue resolution which can show the small infiltration and inflammatory reaction around the tumor. Ultrasonic examination, as a technique without radioactivity, can show the shapes, structures and blood supplies of tumor sites and lymph node metastasis, and also can used as guidance for intervention procedures. PET/CT has unique advantage in monitoring the response to NAC by observing the changes of tumor metabolism. The image fusion of molecular metabolic changes and anatomical location can offer higher sensibility and specificity in curative effect of NAC, which is more accurate than measuring the tumor size.
