Abstract:Objective: To explore the value of measuring iodine concentration(IC) in perigastric adipose tissue with dual-energy CT(DECT) for judgment of serosa status after neoadjuvant chemotherapy(NAC). Methods: Thirty-four patients with T4 advanced gastric cancer who underwent DECT before and after treatment were enrolled. According to the postoperative pathologic results, the patients were divided into two groups: the down-staging group(n=10) and the non-down-staging group(n=24). IC(ICPAT) and standardized IC(SICPAT) of perigastric adipose tissue were measured in the two groups, respectively. ROC curve was used to evaluate the capability of SICPAT in detecting serosa invasion. Results: Compared with postoperative pathologic results, the accuracy of judgment of serosa status was 70.59% by conventional CT after NAC. The differences of the changes of ICPAT(△ICPAT) and SICPAT(△SICPAT) between the two groups were statistically significant(P<0.05). With a △SICPAT threshold of 0.095, area under curve(AUC) was 0.908, the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy for detecting serosa invasion were 90.0%, 83.3% and 85.29%, respectively. Conclusion: The SICPAT in perigastric adipose tissue is an effective indicator to determine the serosa status after NAC and to guide the operation time.
