- Abstract
Purpose: To compare the diagnostic performance of double contrast-enhanced ultrasound (DCEUS) and multi-detector row computed tomography (MDCT) in the gross classification of gastric cancer (GC) preoperatively. Methods: 54 patients with histology proved GC were included in this retrospective study. The sensitivity and specificity of DCEUS and MDCT for the gross classification of GC was calculated and compared. The area under the curve (AUC) from a receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was used to evaluate the difference of the diagnostic performance between these two methods. Results: There were no significant differences between DCEUS and MDCT in terms of AUC for early gastric cancer (EGC), Borrmann I, II, III and Borrmann (III + IV) (P = 0.248, 0.317, 0.717, 0.464 and 0.594, respectively). The accuracy of DCEUS in diagnosing EGC, Borrmann I, II and Borrmann (III + IV) was higher than that of MDCT (96% vs 92%; 96% vs 94%; 87% vs 80%; 83% vs 73%), while in determining Borrmann III and IV, that of DCEUS was lower than that of MDCT (72% vs 74%; 89% vs 96%). Conclusion: Considering the revolution in clinical decision, prognosis evaluation, safety and non-invasion aspects, DCEUS can be used as the main alternative method for Borrmann classification of GC preoperatively.
