Abstract

The diagnosis of recurrent ovarian cancer can be difficult on cross-sectional imaging, and variable sensitivities and specificities have been reported for positron emission tomography (PET). Combined functional and anatomic imaging with PET plus computed tomography (CT) potentially allows for improved detection of tumor masses. We investigated the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of PET-CT for the diagnosis of recurrent ovarian cancer. Sixteen women with previously treated ovarian cancer underwent imaging on a combined PET-CT scanner followed by surgery to assess for possible recurrent disease. The fused PET-CT images were retrospectively reviewed for recurrent disease, and the results of PET-CT were compared with the operative notes. Eleven of the 16 patients had recurrent disease at surgery. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of PET-CT for disease detection on a per-patient basis were 72.7%, 40%, and 62.5%, respectively. For cases of malignant adenopathy (n = 7), 100% were detected on PET-CT. For peritoneal lesions no larger than 1 cm (n = 23), 13% were detected on PET-CT. For peritoneal lesions larger than 1 cm (n = 8), 50% were detected on PET-CT. The sensitivity of PET-CT for recurrent ovarian cancer is moderate in patients with low volume disease. A trial involving a larger number of patients with a spectrum of disease volumes is necessary to determine the impact of PET-CT in clinical practice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

B Presenter: b A. Floortje van Oosten MD | Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine B Background: b Improved systemic and radiation therapies administered as induction therapy have driven a trend of more aggressive operations in patients with locally advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) that was historically considered technically unresectable. Herein, we present a technical report describing our surgical experience of tumors considered locally advanced with long segment encasement of the superior mesenteric vein (SMV), celiac axis (CA), or the inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery (IPDA) or gastroduodenal artery (GDA) preluding distal pancreatectomy-celiac axis resection (DP-CAR). The option then remains to keep the mesocaval shunt and implant the other branch into the portal vein or to transpose the mesocaval shunt to the portal vein. [Extracted from the article]
