PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracies of dual-time-point (DTP) 18F-FDG PET/CT for detection of mediastinal lymph node (LN) metastasis in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients through a systematic review and meta-analysis.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: The PubMed, Cochrane database, and EMBASE database, from the earliest available date of indexing through October 31, 2021, were searched for studies evaluating diagnostic performance of DTP 18F-FDG PET/CT for detection of metastatic mediastinal LN in NSCLC patients. We determined the sensitivities and specificities across studies, calculated positive and negative likelihood ratios (LR+ and LR-), and constructed summary receiver operating characteristic curves.
RESULTS: Ten studies (758 patients) were included in the current study. In patient-based analysis, early image showed a sensitivity of 0.76 and a specificity of 0.75. Delayed image revealed a sensitivity of 0.84 and a specificity of 0.71. In LN-based analysis, early image showed a sensitivity of 0.80 and a specificity of 0.83. Delayed image revealed a sensitivity of 0.84 and a specificity of 0.87. Retention index or %ΔSUVmax is superior to early or delayed images of DTP 18F-FDG PET/CT for detection of mediastinal LN metastasis.
CONCLUSIONS: Dual-time-point 18F-FDG PET/CT showed a good diagnostic performances for detection of metastatic mediastinal LNs in NSCLC patients. Early and delayed images of DTP 18F-FDG PET/CT revealed similar diagnostic accuracies for LN metastasis. However, retention index or %ΔSUVmax is superior to early or delayed images of DTP 18F-FDG PET/CT for detection of mediastinal LN metastasis in NSCLC patients. Further large multicenter studies would be necessary to substantiate the diagnostic accuracy of DTP 18F-FDG PET/CT for mediastinal LN staging in NSCLC patients.
