      P1.03-022 - Possibility of FDG-PET Predicting the Clinicopathological Characteristics and Prognosis of Lung Adenocarcinoma: Multicenter Study (ID 5799)

      14:30 - 15:45  |  Author(s): T. Ohira

      • Abstract

      Background:
      This multicenter study aimed to investigate the relationship of standardized uptake value (SUV) on [18F]-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) and the clinicopathological characteristics of lung adenocarcinomas, and if it can be a predictor of prognosis of those patients.

      Methods:
      A total of 870 patients of adenocarcinoma patients received FDG-PET preoperatively and underwent curative resection with systematic lymph node dissection. The relationship among histological characteristics, pathological staging, prognosis, and SUV on FDG-PETmax was retrospectively examined.

      Results:
      The pathological stages of the cases were IA 526, IB 182, IIA 62, IIB 27, IIIA 67, IIIB 1, and IV 5, respectively. Pathological N1 (n = 60) and N2 (n = 58) cases showed a significantly higher SUVmax than N0 (n = 752) (9.15 ± 7.13 and 8.58 ± 6.14 vs 3.23 ± 4.16). Cases with pathological tumor invasiveness such as lymphatic, vascular or pleural infiltration showed a significantly higher SUVmax than cases with no invasiveness. (Ly negative; n=687, 2.76±3.59 vs Ly positive; n=183, 7.67±6.23, and v0; n=641, 2.18±2.58 vs v1 or 2; n=229, 8.30±6.23. p<0.001, respectively) The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve for SUVmax used to predict the relapse-free survival was 2.9 (p < 0.001) in adenocarcinoma. The 3-year relapse-free survival was 97%/66% (SUVmax lower/ higher than 2.9) in adenocarcinoma. SUVmax was parallel to the aggressive nature based on histological subtypes (AIS +MIA; n=76, 0.51±0.58, Lepidic + Papillary + Acinar; n=686, 3.52±4.12, and Solid + Micropapillary; n=84, 8.52±6.67), which was statistically significant. (p<0.001 respectively)

      Conclusion:
      SUVmax of the primary tumor reflected the biological malignancy of lung adenocarcinomas. SUVmax is also useful for predicting pathological stage and prognosis. Multimodality treatment might be recommended in cases of high UVmax.

      P1.04-015 - Clinical Application of Virtual Navigated Bronchial Intervention (ID 4996)

      Background:
      Removal of endobronchial tumor is considered the first treatment of choice to improve respiratory status to dilate and maintain the airway. In patients with inoperable tumors we frequently regard endoscopic treatment as the first treatment of choice, but the indications and decisions regarding the method require careful consideration. We reported the indications and efficacy of virtual navigated bronchial intervention for the treatment of bronchial tumors. To select safer and precisely approach for patients with bronchial tumors, we evaluate virtual navigated bronchial intervention using a high-speed 3-dimensional (3D) image analysis system, Synapse Vincent (Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan).

      Methods:
      We set out to clarify, based on retrospective evaluation of routine work-up data in our charts and patient treatment data, the efficacy of virtual navigated bronchial intervention for the treatment of different types of bronchial tumors, yet representative of the spectrum of conditions we encounter, in order to provide a guide to techniques available in interventional bronchology for obstructive lesions. All computed tomography (CT) must satisfy several conditions necessary to analyze images by Synapse Vincent. Synapse Vincent provides more information not only concerning tumor size and shape, but also whether the tumor invades surrounding tissue and the extent of airway and vessel involvement. Constructed images are displayed on a monitor, which can be utilized for deciding the simulation and interventional strategy and for navigation during interventional manipulation.

      Results:
      In these cases, Synapse Vincent was used to determine the best planning of virtual navigated bronchial intervention. The feasibility and safety of Synapse Vincent in performing useful preoperative simulation and navigation of interventional procedures lead to the safer, more precise, and less invasive for the patient, and easy to construct an image, depending on the purpose, in 5-10 minutes using Synapse Vincent. Moreover, if the lesion is in the parenchyma or sub-bronchial lumen, it helps to perform simulation with virtual skeletal subtraction to estimate potential lesion movement. By using virtual navigated system for simulation, bronchial intervention was performed with no complications safely and precisely.

      Conclusion:
      Preoperative simulation using virtual navigated bronchial intervention reduces the surgeon’s stress levels, particularly when highly skilled techniques are needed to operate on lesions. This task, including interventional simulation and navigation both pre- and during manipulation, could lead to greater safety and precision. These technological instruments should be helpful for bronchial intervention procedures, and are also excellent devices for educational training.
