  • CT Perfusion with 64-Multidetector CT in Gastric Antrum Cancer and Correlation Between Functional CT and Tumor Angiogenesis

    Objective To investigate perfusion features of gastric antrum cancer by 64-multidetector CT and to assess the correlation between perfusion CT parameters and immunohistochemical markers of angiogenesis in gastric cancer. Methods Perfusion CT was performed in 30 patients with gastric antrum cancer (gastric antrum cancer group) and 24 patients with normal stomach (control group), and postoperative specimens were stained using a polyclonal antibody to VEGF and CD34. The correlation between perfusion parameters and microvessel density (MVD), and VEGF were analyzed. Results Blood volume (BV) increased in the gastric antrum cancer group (Plt;0.01). There was no significant difference in perfusion (PF), peak enhancement (PE), or time to peak (TTP) between the gastric antrum cancer and the normal groups (Pgt;0.05). BV was positively significantly correlated with MVD (r=0.522, P=0.02), but no significant correlation was found between PF (r=0.072, P=0.78), PE (r=0.253, P=0.31), or TTP (r=0.235, P=0.35) and MVD. No correlation was found between PF (r=-0.208, P=0.45), PE (r=-0.251, P=0.37), TTP(r=-0.284, P=0.31), or BV(r=-0.472, P=0.09) and VEGF.Conclusion Blood volume can evaluate the angiogenesis of tumor and perfusion CT can be a tool to assess microvessel status in gastric antrum cancer.
