Abstract
Objective
To compare and explore the characteristics of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), adenocarcinoma (AC) and adenosquamous carcinoma (ASC), usual-type endocervical adenocarcinoma (UEA) and gastric adenocarcinoma (GAC) of cervix.
Materials and methods
A total of 728 cervical cancers (254 cases of AC, 252 cases of ASC, and 222 cases of SCC) confirmed by histopathology were retrospectively reviewed. Among AC, 119 UEA and 47 GAC were included. Clinical baseline data and tumor morphological features on MRI (including tumor location, shape, diameter and volume, margin, growth pattern, presence of fluid component or cyst, heterogenous and peritumoral enhancement) of all cases were collected and analyzed. The signal intensity (SI) of tumor and gluteus maximus muscle were measured and their ratios (SIR) were calculated based on T1-weighted imaging (T1WI), T2-weighted imaging (T2WI), diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and contrast-enhanced T1WI at arterial and delay phases (A/DCE-T1WI). These clinical and MRI features were compared between SCC, AC and ASC, UEA and GAC, and the specific ones of each subtype were identified.
Results
There was a significant difference in SCC-Ag, CA-199, CEA, ADC value, SIR-DWI, presence of intratumor cyst and peritumoral enhancement between AC and ASC; in patient age, menopausal status, International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage, SCC-Ag, CA-125, CA-199, CEA, tumor shape, growth pattern, margin, presence of intratumor fluid component and cyst, tumor diameter and volume, ADC value, SIR-T1WI, SIR-T2WI, and SIR-DWI between SCC and AC, as well as SCC and ASC. Also, there was a significant difference in deep stromal invasion (DSI), peritumoral and heterogenous enhancement between SCC and AC, and in SIR-ACE-T1WI between SCC and ASC. There was a significant difference in reproductive history, menopausal status, FIGO stage, CA-199, DSI, lymph node metastasis (LNM), parametrial invasion (PMI), tumor location, shape, margin, growth pattern, presence of fluid component and cyst, tumor diameter and volume, SIR-T1WI, SIR-DWI, and heterogenous enhancement between GAC and UEA.
Conclusion
The clinical and MRI features with significant differences among SCC, AC and ASC, and between UEA and GAC, can help to identify each subtype of cervical cancer.
期刊介绍:
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is the first international multidisciplinary journal encompassing physical, life, and clinical science investigations as they relate to the development and use of magnetic resonance imaging. MRI is dedicated to both basic research, technological innovation and applications, providing a single forum for communication among radiologists, physicists, chemists, biochemists, biologists, engineers, internists, pathologists, physiologists, computer scientists, and mathematicians.
