Overview

Brief Summary

This pilot clinical trial studies positron emission tomography (PET)-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and PET-computed tomography (CT) as diagnostic imaging in patients with colon and/or rectal cancer. New diagnostic imaging procedures, such as PET-MRI, may help find and diagnose rectal cancer or recurrence of colorectal cancer

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To test the diagnostic performance of PET- MRI in the staging of preoperative high-grade rectal cancer patients, defined by T3 stage or higher or N1 stage or higher or presence of metastasis, that are referred to PET-CT and MRI. II. To test the diagnostic performance of PET-MRI the follow up of colorectal cancer patients that are referred to PET-CT with or without a diagnostic MRI request by their physicians. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To test different attenuation correction MR sequences and novel diagnostic MR sequences. OUTLINE: Patients undergo fludeoxyglucose F 18 PET-CT and PET-MRI.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Either having a T3 (the cancer has grown through the muscularis propria and into the outermost layers of the colon or rectum but not through them) or higher, node positivity or metastatic lesion in the context of rectal cancer or being studied for colorectal cancer follow up, independent of the renal function
  • PET-CT should be requested by a referring physician; in the case of having an MR requested as well, it will be reported from the MRI images generated in the PET-MRI
  • Stable physical medical conditions to undergo a MRI
  • Informed consent must be given and signed prior to study enrollment

Exclusion Criteria

  • Refuse to give and/or sign the informed consent
  • Subjects who do not meet the above mentioned inclusion criteria
  • Subjects who have a pacemaker
  • Subjects who have a metallic prostheses either in the pelvis or in the abdomen that will interfere with the MR imaging of that anatomical area
  • Subjects who suffer from claustrophobia
  • Pregnant women
  • Cognitive impairment that affects the subject's ability to give consent

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Maximum Standardized Uptake Value (SUVmax) in Physiologic Regions and Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) Avid Lesions in Participants Where PET-CT Was Performed Prior to the PET-MRI

Time Frame: Up to 6 months (each scan taking an average of 45 minutes)

SUV max in physiologic regions (blood pool, liver) and FDG avid lesions, in which the PET-CT was performed prior to the PET-MRI. SUVmax is defined as \[tissue concentration (MBq/g) x body weight (g)\]/\[injected dose (MBq/g)\]

Time Frame: Up to 6 months (each scan taking an average of 45 minutes)

SUV max in physiologic regions (blood pool, liver) and FDG avid lesions, in which the PET-MRI was performed prior to the PET-CT. SUVmax is defined as \[tissue concentration (MBq/g) x body weight (g)\]/\[injected dose (MBq/g)\]

SUVmax in Which the PET-CT Was Performed Prior to the PET-MRI.

Time Frame: Up to 6 months (each scan taking an average of 45 minutes)

SUVmax in FDG avid lesions in which the PET/CT was performed prior to the PET-MRI. SUVmax is defined as \[tissue concentration (MBq/g) x body weight (g)\]/\[injected dose (MBq/g)\]

SUVmax in Which the PET-MRI Was Performed Prior to the PET-CT

Time Frame: Up to 6 months (each scan taking an average of 45 minutes)

SUVmax in FDG avid lesions in which the PET-MRI was performed prior to the PET-CT SUVmax is defined as \[tissue concentration (MBq/g) x body weight (g)\]/\[injected dose (MBq/g)\]

Time Frame: Up to 6 months (each scan taking an average of 45 minutes)

SUVmax ratio in FDG avid lesions in which the PET-CT was performed prior to the PET-MRI SUVmax is defined as \[tissue concentration (MBq/g) x body weight (g)\]/\[injected dose (MBq/g)\]

SUVmax Ratio in Which the PET-MRI Was Performed Prior to the PET-CT

Time Frame: Up to 6 months (each scan taking an average of 45 minutes)

SUVmax ratio in FDG avid lesions in which the PET-MRI was performed prior to the PET-CT SUVmax is defined as \[tissue concentration (MBq/g) x body weight (g)\]/\[injected dose (MBq/g)\]

True Positive Rate

Time Frame: Up to 6 months (each scan taking an average of 45 minutes)

True positive rate for both modalities - TP/TP+FN TP = true positives FN = False negatives

True Negative Rate

Time Frame: Up to 6 months (each scan taking an average of 45 minutes)

True negative rate for both modalities - TN/TN+FP TN = true negatives FP = False positives

False Negative Rate

Time Frame: Up to 6 months (each scan taking an average of 45 minutes)

False negative rate for both modalities - FN/FN+TP FN = False negatives TP = true positives

Proportion of Lesions Identified by PET-CT That Were Correctly Detected by PET-MRI

Time Frame: Up to 6 months (each scan taking an average of 45 minutes)

On a per-lesion basis, proportion of lesions identified by PET-CT that were correctly detected by PET-MRI

Time Frame: Up to 6 months (each scan taking an average of 45 minutes)

Percent of true positive rate of diagnostic accuracy.

Negative Predictive Values for PET-CT and PET-MRI

Time Frame: Up to 6 months (each scan taking an average of 45 minutes)
