Rectal Cancer Staging Using Whole Body MR-PET

Completed
Conditions
Rectal Cancer
Registration Number
NCT02651701
Lead Sponsor
Seoul National University Hospital
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to measure the diagnostic performance of whole body (WB) MR-PET for staging rectal cancer, compared with current standard of care (chest/abdominopelvic CT and rectal MRI) to investigate clinical feasibility of WB MR-PET as a one-stop preoperative imaging modality in patients with rectal cancer.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
the concordance rate between rectal cancer staging performed by WB MR-PET and the current standard of care (chest/abdominopelvic CT and rectal MRI12 months

the concordance rate between two protocols (standard protocol vs. WB-MR-PET) would be calculated.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
concordance rate of clinical stagings and true M staging obtained by biopsy or follow-up18 months
incidence of recommendation for further workup after examination12 months

incidence of recommendation for further w/u after two protocols (standard vs. study) would be compared.

concordance rate of clinical staging between standard of care and that obtained by combination of WB MR-PET and chest CT.12 months
