- Abstract
- AIM: To determine the preoperative computed tomography (CT) parameters that predict portal vein/superior mesenteric vein (PV-SMV) invasion in patients with pancreatic head cancer, and to assess whether PV-SMV invasion affects patient survival.MATERIALS AND METHODS: Sixty patients with PV-SMV invasion, and 60 randomly selected patients without it, who had undergone preoperative CT and subsequent surgery for pancreatic head cancer were enrolled. The following CT parameters were evaluated using multivariate logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic analyses to predict vessel invasion (tumour size and margin, length of involved vessel, distance from the tumour to the vessel, vessel irregularity, the teardrop sign, and tumour-vein interface [TVI]). The Cox proportional hazard model was used to evaluate the effects of PV-SMV invasion on survival.RESULTS: In multivariate analysis, tumour size (odds ratio [OR] = 1.99) and TVI (OR = 3.79 [<= 90 degrees], 20.66 [> 90 degrees, <= 180 degrees], and 47.24 [>180 degrees]) were independent CT predictors of PV-SMV invasion (p<0.05); they achieved a sensitivity of 87%, a specificity of 75%, and an accuracy of 81%; however, PV-SMV invasion did not affect patient survival after surgery (p = 0.374).CONCLUSION: In patients with pancreatic head cancer, preoperative CT parameters can predict PV-SMV invasion with high accuracy. PV-SMV invasion did not affect treatment outcome after surgery.
