Comparison of Computed Tomography Features of Gastric and Small Bowel Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors With Different Risk Grades

Comparison of Computed Tomography Features of Gastric and Small Bowel Gastrointestinal Stromal... Objective This study aimed to compare the computed tomography (CT) features of gastric and small bowel gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) and further identify the predictors for risk stratification of them, respectively. Methods According to the modified National Institutes of Health criteria, patients were classified into low-malignant potential group and high-malignant potential group. Two experienced radiologists reviewed the CT features including the difference of CT values between arterial phase and portal venous phase (PVPMAP) by consensus. The CT features of gastric and small bowel GISTs were compared, and the association of CT features with risk grades was analyzed, respectively. Determinant CT features were used to construct corresponding models. Results Univariate analysis showed that small bowel GISTs tended to present with irregular contour, mixed growth pattern, ill-defined margin, severe necrosis, ulceration, tumor vessels, heterogeneous enhancement, larger size, and marked enhancement compared with gastric GISTs. According to multivariate analysis, tumor size (P < 0.001; odds ratio [OR], 3.279), necrosis (P = 0.008; OR, 2.104) and PVPMAP (P = 0.045; OR, 0.958) were the independent influencing factors for risk stratification of gastric GISTs. In terms of small bowel GISTs, the independent predictors were tumor size (P < 0.001; OR, 3.797) and ulceration (P = 0.031; OR, 4.027). Receiver operating characteristic curve indicated that the CT models for risk stratification of gastric and small bowel GISTs both achieved the best predictive performance. Conclusions Computed tomography features of gastric and small bowel GISTs are different. Furthermore, the qualitative and quantitative CT features of GISTs may be favorable for preoperative risk stratification. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography Wolters Kluwer Health
