Abstract

Objectives

The purpose of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the prognostic value of MRI-detected extramural vascular invasion (mrEMVI) and mrEMVI after neoadjuvant therapy (ymrEMVI) in rectal cancer patients receiving neoadjuvant therapy.

Methods

A systematic search of the PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases was carried out up to June 2020. Studies that evaluated mrEMVI, used treatment with neoadjuvant therapy, and reported survival were included. The time-to-event outcomes (OS and DFS rates) are expressed as hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). If the HR was not reported in the study, it was calculated from the survival curve using methods according to Parmar’s recommendation. The Newcastle-Ottawa scale was used to assess the methodological quality of the studies included in the meta-analysis.

Results

A total of 2237 patients from 11 studies were included, and the pooled analysis of the overall results from eight studies showed that patients who were mrEMVI positive at baseline had significantly worse disease-free survival (DFS) (random-effects model: HR = 2.50 [1.84, 3.14]; Z = 5.83, p < 0.00001). The pooled analysis of the overall results from six studies showed that patients who were ymrEMVI positive following neoadjuvant therapy had significantly worse DFS (random-effects model: HR = 2.24 [1.73, 2.90], Z = 6.12, p < 0.00001). Patients with mrEMVI positivity at baseline were also associated with worse overall survival (OS) (random-effects model: HR = 1.93 [1.36, 2.73]; Z = 3.71, p < 0.00001).

Conclusion

mrEMVI and ymrEMVI positivity are poor prognostic factors for rectal cancer patients treated with neoadjuvant therapy. The precise evaluation of EMVI may contribute to designing individualised treatments and improving patient outcomes.

Key Points

• Extramural vascular invasion (EMVI) is a prognostic factor for rectal cancer.
• MRI can be used to evaluate EMVI status before (mrEMVI) and after neoadjuvant therapy (ymrEMVI).
• The evaluation of mrEMVI and ymrEMVI in neoadjuvant therapy would provide an early assessment of patient prognosis.

Neu im Fachgebiet Radiologie

Hölzerner Fremdkörper in der Orbita? Zuerst eine CT!

Besteht der Verdacht, dass ein Fremdkörper aus Holz in den Orbitalraum eingedrungen ist, spielt die Bildgebung eine entscheidende diagnostische Rolle. Was von CT und MRT zu erwarten ist, hat ein chinesisches Radiologenteam untersucht.

Diagnostik von Rippenfrakturen: KI schlägt Radiologen

Mensch gegen Maschine: Beim Erkennen von Rippenfrakturen in Röntgen- und CT-Aufnahmen entschied sich dieses Duell zugunsten der künstlichen Intelligenz (KI). Die Algorithmen zeigten eine höhere Sensitivität als ihre menschlichen Kollegen.

Ärztinnen überholen Ärzte bei Praxisgründungen

Bei Praxisgründungen haben inzwischen die Frauen deutlich die Nase vorn: Seit zehn Jahren wagen laut apoBank mehr Ärztinnen als Ärzte den Schritt in die Selbstständigkeit. In puncto Finanzierung sind sie aber vorsichtiger als die männlichen Kollegen.

Ambulante Behandlung darf länger dauern als stationäre

Ambulante Behandlungen haben Vorrang vor stationären - auch wenn diese läner dauern. Das hat das Bundessozialgericht klargestellt. Konkret ging es um Liposuktionen der Ober- und Unterschenkel.
