Abstract

Aim: In recent years, alternative therapies targeting directly cancer cells and targeted agents have been developed. The aim of this study is to develop a new perspective on alternative therapies on local targets, as identify the correlation between positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) SUVmax and histological type of the tumor in non-small cell lung cancers. 

Methods: This study is based on the retrospective examination of patients who underwent PET-CT for preoperative staging with non-small cell lung cancer between January 2012 and May 2015. Statistical analyses are made between SUVmax values and histopathological types.

Results: The study is including 448 patients who underwent surgery for non-small cell lung cancer. The average size of the mass was 4.5 cm and the average SUVmax value was calculated as 13.3. The patients were classified into five groups according to their histopathological diagnosis. PET-CT fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) involvement has been classified for different histopathological types. Statistically significant correlation was identified between the tumor size and histopathological diagnosis. It was found that the difference between SUVmax values of the adenocarcinoma tumors and other types are found statistically significant. SUVmax values have been found mostly between 5-10 in patients with adenocarcinoma and 10-15 in others.

Conclusion: Considering that there are statistically significant differences between PET-CT SUVmax values of tumor cell types, we argue that radiopharmaceuticals which could provide different and local treatment should be used in cancer treatment, they should be combined with alternative therapies such as loco-regional treatment methods, and the studies in that direction should continue in line with the technological developments.

Küçük hücreli dışı akciğer kanserinde histopatolojik tip ile PET-BT SUVmax arasındaki korelasyon üzerine farklı bir bakış açısı, Retrospektif kohort çalışma

Abstract

Amaç: Son yıllarda akciğer kanserinin moleküler biyolojisi konusunda yapılan araştırmalar ile kanser hücreleri yanında normal hücreleri de hedef alan sistemik konvansiyonel tedavi yöntemlerinin yanında direk kanser hücrelerini hedef alan tedaviler gelişmiş ve böylece lokal hedefe yönelik ajanlar başlığı altında yeni tedavi alternatifleri üzerine yoğunlaşılmıştır. Bizim çalışmamızda ise amaç lokal hedefe yönelik tedavi alternatifleri konusunda farklı bir kapı aralamak, küçük hücreli dışı akciğer kanserlerinde kitle Pozitron emisyon tomografi-bilgisayarlı tomografi (PET-BT) SUVmax değerinin tümör histolojik tipi ile korelasyon gösterip göstermediğini belirlemektir.

Yöntemler: Çalışmamız, ocak 2012 ile mayıs 2015 yılları arasında preoperatif evreleme amaçlı istenen PET-BT ve sonrasında opere edilen küçük hücreli dışı akciğer kanseri olgularının retrospektif incelenmesi ile oluşturuldu. PET-BT’deki kitlenin SUVmax değeri ve histopatolojik tip kaydedilerek istatistiksel değerlendirme yapıldı.

Bulgular: Çalışmaya KHDAK nedeni ile opere edilen 448 olgu dahil edildi. Olguların ortalama kitle boyutları 4,5cm, ortalama SUVmax değerleri 13,3 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Olgular histopatolojik tanılarına göre 5 grupta toplandı. PET-BT fluorodeoksiglikoz (FDG) tutulum SUVmax değerleri gruplandırıldı ve farklı histopatolojik türde malignitelerin ağırlıklı olarak gösterdikleri tutulum değerleri belirlenmeye çalışıldı. Tümör boyutu ve histopatolojik tanılar ile SUVmax değerleri arasında anlamlı ilişki tespit edildi. Adenokarsinom hücre türüne ait tümörlerin diğer karsinomlara göre PET-BT SUVmax değerlerinin anlamlı düzeyde farklılık gösterdiği tespit edildi. SUVmax değerlerinin ağırlıklı olarak adenokarsinom olgularında 5-10 arası düzeylerde, diğer türlerde genellikle 10-15 arası tutulum gösterdiği belirlendi.

Sonuç: Tümör hücre tiplerinin PET-BT SUVmax değerleri anlamlı düzeyde farklılık gösterdiklerinden yola çıkılarak PET’te farklı ve lokal tedaviyi sağlayacak radyofarmasötiklerin kullanılması ve değişik alternatifler oluşturulması konusunda teknolojik gelişmeler baz alınarak çalışmalar devam etmelidir.
