Contrast-enhanced CT-Derived extracellular volume fraction predicts survival in postoperative pancreatic cancer patients
Objective
To evaluate the prognostic value of extracellular volume (ECV) fraction derived from contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) in predicting survival outcomes of resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).
Methods
The study cohort included a total of 166 patients with resectable PDAC who underwent CECT before operative excision between Jan 2018 and Mar 2021. Tumor CT-derived ECV fractions were calculated from unenhanced and equilibrium-phase CT images. The effects of clinical factors, CECT parameters, and tumor CT-derived ECV fractions on overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were assessed by univariate and multivariate analyses using Cox proportional hazards models. In order to verify the reliability of ECV, Masson’s Trichrome staining was performed on surgical resection specimens from a subset of patients to quantify intratumoral collagen content. Pearson correlation analyzed relationships between CT-derived ECV and collagen ratio (CR).
Results
The median value of CT-derived ECV fraction was 32 % (21 % − 41 %) . Increasing tumor CT-derived ECV fractions were associated with a positive effect on OS and PFS. Age and CT-derived ECV fraction was an independent predictor of OS (p = 0.012; p = 0.001) in patients with postoperative PDAC. Tumor size and CT-derived ECV fraction was an independent predictor of PFS (p = 0.016; p = 0.001) in patients with postoperative PDAC. ECV strongly correlated with CR (R2 = 0.860, p < 0.001).
Conclusion
CT-derived ECV fraction is a noninvasive biomarker for predicting survival in resectable PDAC.
