摘要
Background Active endothelial cell proliferation occurs at the tumor edge, known as the invading-tumor front. This study focused on perfusion analysis of non-small cell lung cancers. Purpose To analyze dual-phase, dual-energy CT perfusion according to the degree of tumor hypoxia. Materials and Methods This prospective study was performed 2016-2017. A two-phase dual-energy CT protocol was obtained for consecutive participants with operable non-small cell lung cancer. The first pass and delayed iodine concentration within the tumor and normalized iodine uptake, corresponding to the iodine concentration within the tumor normalized to iodine concentration within the aorta, were calculated for the entire tumor and within three peripheral layers automatically segmented (ie, 2-mm-thick concentric subvolumes). The expression of the membranous carbonic anhydrase (mCA) IX, a marker of tumor hypoxia, was assessed in tumor specimens. Comparative analyses according to the histologic subtypes, type of resected tumors, and mCA IX expression were performed. Results There were 33 mCA IX-positive tumors and 16 mCA IX-negative tumors. In the entire tumor, the mean normalized iodine uptake was higher on delayed than on first-pass acquisitions (0.35 ± 0.17 vs 0.13 ± 0.15, respectively; P < .001). A single layer, located at the edge of the tumor, showed higher values of the iodine concentration (median, 0.53 mg/mL vs 0.21 mg/mL, respectively; P = .03) and normalized iodine uptake (0.04 vs 0.02, respectively; P = .03) at first pass in mCA IX-positive versus mCA IX-negative tumors. Within this layer, a functional profile of neovascularization was found in 23 of 33 (70%) of mCA IX-positive tumors, and the median mCA IX score of these tumors was higher than in tumors with a nonfunctional profile of neovascularization (median mCA IX score, 20 vs 2, respectively; P = .03). Conclusion A two-phase dual-energy CT examination depicted higher perfusion between the tumor edge and lung parenchyma in hypoxic tumors. © RSNA, 2021 Online supplemental material is available for this article.
