Role of 18F-FDG PET/CT in detecting recurrent gallbladder carcinoma.

Abstract:

AIM:The present study was aimed to determine the efficacy of integrated FDG PET/CT in patients with gallbladder cancer (GBC) with suspicion of recurrent disease. METHODS:A total of 49 patients (male: 15, female: 34; median age: 52.5 years) with GBC underwent FDG PET/CT for suspected recurrence. A total of 62 PET/CT scans were acquired. Criteria for detection by PET/CT were both a positive FDG uptake and the correct anatomic localization of the tumor. The PET/CT findings were grouped as locoregional disease and metastatic disease. Results of PET/CT were compared with clinical and radiologic follow-up and/or histopathology. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy were calculated. Results of PET/CT were also compared with conventional imaging (CI) whenever available. RESULTS:Of 62 PET/CT, 43 (69.4%) were positive and 19 (30.6%) were negative for recurrence. Of 43 positive scans, 41 were true positive and 2 were false positive. Among 19 negative PET/CT scans, 18 were true negative and 1 was false negative. PET/CT showed a sensitivity of 97.6% and specificity of 90% in detecting tumor recurrence. The positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy were 95.3%, 94.7%, and 95.1%, respectively. Locoregional disease was seen in 16 (37.2%) PET/CT studies, distant metastases were seen in 13 (30.2%), and 14 (32.5%) studies showed both locoregional disease and metastasis. When comparable CI was available, PET/CT showed a better specificity than CI for detection of recurrence. CONCLUSIONS:Integrated FDG PET/CT can detect recurrence in GBC with high sensitivity and specificity. Routine use of PET/CT in these patients will detect recurrence early and change the subsequent management.
