Diagnostic Efficacy and Prognostic Value of 18F-FDG PET/CT (MR) in Pediatric Solid Blastoma

Completed
Conditions
Hepatoblastoma
Neuroblastoma
Wilms Tumor
18F-FDG
Registration Number
NCT06190574
Lead Sponsor
Wuhan Union Hospital, China
Brief Summary

the primary histologic origin of extracranial solid tumors in children is malignant embryonic cells, including Neuroblastoma (NB) , Hepatoblastoma(HB), and kidney, wilms' tumor(WT). Their main clinical symptoms are large abdominal masses, the most common lymph node metastasis . NB accounts for 15% of childhood cancer deaths, but some low-risk NB can disappear on its own. The International Neuroblastoma Risk Group Staging System (INRGSS) was used to determine Risk before NB treatment, whereas the INRGSS was entirely based on the Neuroblastoma diagnosis, illustrating the importance of imaging in the assessment of NB.18F-FDG is the most commonly used agent in PET imaging of tumor. It can reflect the glucose metabolism of tumor and is widely used in the diagnosis, staging, evaluation of curative effect and prognosis prediction of tumor In this study, the investigators retrospectively analyzed 18F-FDG PET/CT or PET/MRI images from patients with NB, HB, and WT. The investigators sought to assess whether these images provide useful information for diagnosis and prognosis.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Sensitivity and specificity of diagnosis and stagingup to 2 years

Comparison of the high uptake portion of a pet image suspected to be a histiocytoma for consistency with pathological findings, using the pathological section as the gold standard to calculate the sensitivity and specificity of the diagnostic.

Region of Interest (ROI)up to 2 years

The presence of non-physiological uptake or uptake in a tissue structure can be considered pathological. The lesion intake is higher than the health organization and is classified as clearly positive. The lesion and the surrounding normal tissue ROI, measure the SUV, TLG and MTV.
