Comparison of performances of the LIRADS treatment response (LR-TR) algorithm and mRECIST for detecting treatment response of HCC post-TACE
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this study is to compare the performance of Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System treatment response (LR-TR) with mRECIST (modified response evaluation criteria in solid tumours) for diagnosing the treatment response of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) by computer tomography (CT).
Subjective and Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed on 58 patients with UTTBG (M/F: 13:1, mean age 56.9 ± 11.0 years) who had follow-up after the first TACE by CT at Vietnam National Cancer Hospital and Huu Nghi Hospital from June 2021 to August 2022.
Results: Comparison to sensitivity and accuracy value of LR-TR (90% and 87,9%) was significantly higher than that of mRECIST (77.5% and 84.4%), with p<0.05; specificity, positive predictive rate of LR-TR and mRECIST, is 83.3% and 16.7%, was not significantly differential (p>0.05); negative predictive value of LR-TR (10%) was significantly lower than that of mRECIST (22.5%), with p<0.05.
Conclusion: The LR-TR Algorithm on CT four-phase shows significantly higher sensitivity and accuracy value but equivalent specific value with mRECIST.
