RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Quantify the outcomes following pneumothorax aspiration and influence upon chest drain insertion. METHODS: This was a retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent aspiration for the treatment of a pneumothorax following a CT percutaneous transthoracic lung biopsy (CT-PTLB) from January 1, 2010 to October 1, 2020 at a tertiary center. Patient, lesion and procedural factors associated with chest drain insertion were assessed with univariate and multivariate analyses. RESULTS: A total of 102 patients underwent aspiration for a pneumothorax following CT-PTLB. Overall, 81 patients (79.4%) had a successful pneumothorax aspiration and were discharged home on the same day. In 21 patients (20.6%), the pneumothorax continued to increase post-aspiration and required chest drain insertion with hospital admission. Significant risk factors requiring chest drain insertion included upper/middle lobe biopsy location [odds ratio (OR) 6.46; 95% CI 1.77-23.65, p = 0.003], supine biopsy position (OR 7.06; 95% CI 2.24-22.21, p < 0.001), emphysema (OR 3.13; 95% CI 1.10-8.87, p = 0.028), greater needle depth ≥2 cm (OR 4.00; 95% CI 1.44-11.07, p = 0.005) and a larger pneumothorax (axial depth ≥3 cm) (OR 16.00; 95% CI 4.76-53.83, p < 0.001). On multivariate analysis, larger pneumothorax size and supine position during biopsy remained significant for chest drain insertion. Aspiration of a larger pneumothorax (radial depths ≥3 cm and ≥4 cm) had a 50% rate of success. Aspiration of a smaller pneumothorax (radial depth 2-3 cm and <2 cm) had an 82.6% and 100% rate of success, respectively. CONCLUSION: Aspiration of pneumothorax after CT-PTLB can help reduce chest drain insertion in approximately 50% of patients with larger pneumothoraces and even more so with smaller pneumothoraces (>80%). ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: Aspiration of pneumothoraces up to 3 cm was often associated with avoiding chest drain insertion and allowing for earlier discharge.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND AIM: The exact place for selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) in the therapeutic algorithm for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is debated. There are limited data on its indications, efficacy, and safety in Australia. METHODS: We performed a multicenter retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing SIRT for HCC in all Sydney hospitals between 2005 and 2019. The primary outcome was overall survival. Secondary outcomes were progression-free survival and adverse events. RESULTS: During the study period, 156 patients underwent SIRT across 10 institutions (mean age 67 years, 81% male). SIRT use progressively increased from 2005 (n = 2), peaking in 2017 (n = 42) before declining (2019: n = 21). Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer stages at treatment were A (13%), B (33%), C (52%), and D (2%). Forty-four (28%) patients had tumor thrombus. After a median follow-up of 13.9 months, there were 117 deaths. Median overall survival was 15 months (95% confidence interval 11-19). Independent predictors of mortality on multivariable analysis were extent of liver involvement, Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer stage, baseline ascites, alpha fetoprotein, and model for end-stage liver disease score. Median progression-free survival was 6.0 months (95% confidence interval 5.1-6.9 months). Following SIRT, 11% of patients were downstaged to curative therapy. SIRT-related complications occurred in 17%: radioembolization-induced liver disease (11%), pneumonitis (3%), gastrointestinal ulceration, and cholecystitis (1% each). Baseline ascites predicted for radioembolization-induced liver disease. CONCLUSION: We present the largest Australian SIRT cohort for HCC. We have identified several factors associated with a poor outcome following SIRT. Patients with early-stage disease had the best survival with some being downstaged to curative therapy.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Endoscopic biopsy is recommended for diagnosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). A proportion of lesions are hidden from endoscopic view but detected with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This systematic review and meta-analysis investigated the diagnostic performance of MRI for detection of NPC. METHODS: An electronic search of twelve databases and registries was performed. Studies were included if they compared the diagnostic accuracy of MRI to a reference standard (histopathology) in patients suspected of having NPC. The primary outcome was accuracy for detection of NPC. Random-effects models were used to pool outcomes for sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative likelihood ratio (LR). Bias and applicability were assessed using the modified QUADAS-2 tool. RESULTS: Nine studies were included involving 1736 patients of whom 337 were diagnosed with NPC. MRI demonstrated a pooled sensitivity of 98.1% (95% CI 95.2-99.3%), specificity of 91.7% (95% CI 88.3-94.2%), negative LR of 0.02 (95% CI 0.01-0.05), and positive LR of 11.9 (95% CI 8.35-16.81) for detection of NPC. Most studies were performed in regions where NPC is endemic, and there was a risk of selection bias due to inclusion of retrospective studies and one case-control study. There was limited reporting of study randomization strategy. CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates that MRI has a high pooled sensitivity, specificity, and negative predictive value for detection of NPC. MRI may be useful for lesion detection prior to endoscopic biopsy and aid the decision to avoid biopsy in patients with a low post-test probability of disease.

RESUMO

Background There is limited consensus regarding the relative diagnostic performance of cardiac MRI and fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET for cardiac sarcoidosis. Purpose To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare the diagnostic accuracy of cardiac MRI and FDG PET for cardiac sarcoidosis. Materials and Methods Medline, Ovid Epub, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Embase, Emcare, and Scopus were searched from inception until January 2022. Inclusion criteria included studies that evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of cardiac MRI or FDG PET for cardiac sarcoidosis in adults. Data were independently extracted by two investigators. Summary accuracy metrics were obtained by using bivariate random-effects meta-analysis. Meta-regression was used to assess the effect of different covariates. Risk of bias was assessed using the Quality Assessment Tool for Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2 tool. The study protocol was registered a priori in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (Prospero protocol CRD42021214776). Results Thirty-three studies were included (1997 patients, 687 with cardiac sarcoidosis); 17 studies evaluated cardiac MRI (1031 patients) and 26 evaluated FDG PET (1363 patients). Six studies directly compared cardiac MRI and PET in the same patients (303 patients). Cardiac MRI had higher sensitivity than FDG PET (95% vs 84%; P = .002), with no difference in specificity (85% vs 82%; P = .85). In a sensitivity analysis restricted to studies with direct comparison, point estimates were similar to those from the overall analysis: cardiac MRI and FDG PET had sensitivities of 92% and 81% and specificities of 72% and 82%, respectively. Covariate analysis demonstrated that sensitivity for FDG PET was highest with quantitative versus qualitative evaluation (93% vs 76%; P = .01), whereas sensitivity for MRI was highest with inclusion of T2 imaging (99% vs 88%; P = .001). Thirty studies were at risk of bias. Conclusion Cardiac MRI had higher sensitivity than fluorodeoxyglucose PET for diagnosis of cardiac sarcoidosis but similar specificity. Limitations, including risk of bias and few studies with direct comparison, necessitate additional study. © RSNA, 2022 Online supplemental material is available for this article.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: This meta-analysis investigates the diagnostic performance of non-contrast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the detection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS: A systematic review was performed to May 2020 for studies which examined the diagnostic performance of non-contrast MRI (multi-sequence or diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI)- alone) for HCC detection in high risk patients. The primary outcome was accuracy for the detection of HCC. Random effects models were used to pool outcomes for sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio (LR) and negative LR. Subgroup analyses for cirrhosis and size of the lesion were performed. RESULTS: Twenty-two studies were included involving 1685 patients for per-patient analysis and 2128 lesions for per-lesion analysis. Multi-sequence non-contrast MRI (NC-MRI) using T2+DWI±T1 sequences had a pooled per-patient sensitivity of 86.8% (95%CI:83.9-89.4%), specificity of 90.3% (95%CI:87.3-92.7%), and negative LR of 0.17 (95%CI:0.14-0.20). DWI-only MRI (DW-MRI) had a pooled sensitivity of 79.2% (95%CI:71.8-85.4%), specificity of 96.5% (95%CI:94.3-98.1%) and negative LR of 0.24 (95%CI:1.62-0.34). In patients with cirrhosis, NC-MRI had a pooled per-patient sensitivity of 87.3% (95%CI:82.7-91.0%) and specificity of 81.6% (95%CI:75.3-86.8%), whilst DWI-MRI had a pooled sensitivity of 71.4% (95%CI:60.5-80.8%) and specificity of 97.1% (95%CI:91.9-99.4%). For lesions <2 cm, the pooled per-lesion sensitivity was 77.1% (95%CI:73.8-80.2%). For lesions >2 cm, pooled per-lesion sensitivity was 88.5% (95%CI:85.0-91.5%). CONCLUSION: Non-contrast MRI has a moderate negative LR and high specificity with acceptable sensitivity for the detection of HCC, even in patients with cirrhosis and with lesions <2 cm. Prospective trials to validate if non-contrast MRI can be used for HCC surveillance is warranted.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Multiple cohort studies have compared surgical resection with CT-guided percutaneous ablation for patients with stage 1 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC); however, the results have been heterogeneous. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to compare surgery with ablation for stage 1 NSCLC. METHOD: A search of five databases was performed from inception to 5 July 2020. Studies were included if overall survival (OS), cancer-specific survival (CSS), and/or disease-free survival (DFS) were compared between patients treated with surgical resection versus ablation (radiofrequency ablation (RFA) or microwave ablation (MWA)) for stage 1 NSCLC. Pooled odds ratios (OR) were calculated. RESULTS: A total of eight studies were included (total 792 patients: 460 resection and 332 ablation). There were no significant differences in 1- to 5-year OS or CSS between surgery versus ablation. There were significantly better 1- and 2-year DFS for surgery over ablation (OR 2.22, 95% CI 1.14-4.34; OR 2.60, 95% CI 1.21-5.57 respectively), but not 3- to 5-year DFS. Subgroup analysis demonstrated no significant OS difference between lobectomy and MWA, but there were significantly better 1- and 2-year OS with sublobar resection (wedge resection or segmentectomy) versus RFA (OR 2.85, 95% CI 1.33-6.10; OR 4.54, 95% CI 2.51-8.21, respectively). In the two studies which only included patients with stage 1A NSCLC, pooled outcomes demonstrated no significant differences in 1- to 3-year OS or DFS between surgery versus ablation. CONCLUSION: Surgical resection of stage 1 NSCLC remains the optimal choice. However, for non-surgical patients with stage 1A, ablation offers promising DFS, CSS, and OS. Future prospective randomized controlled trials are warranted. KEY POINTS: • Surgical resection of stage 1 NSCLC remains the optimal choice. • In patients with stage 1A NSCLC who are not surgical candidates, CT-guided microwave or radiofrequency ablation may be an alternative which offers promising disease-free survival and overall survival.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Multiple studies have demonstrated adjuvant transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (aTACE) after resection improved outcomes compared to resection alone for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Unlike pre-operative TACE which targets a lesion, aTACE is administered in the proximal hepatic artery to destroy cancer cells within the remaining liver. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to quantify this survival and disease-free survival (DFS) benefit. METHODS: A search of five databases was performed from inception to 20 August 2019. RESULTS: A total of 26 studies (six randomized controlled trials) involving 7817 patients were included. Patients treated with resection plus aTACE had significantly better 1-year survival (OR, 2.53 [95% CI, 1.70-3.76, p < 0.001) and 1-year DFS (OR, 1.91 [95% CI, 1.60-2.28, p < 0.001) compared to resection alone. The survival benefit remained significant for 2- to 5-year survival (OR 2.39, 1.83, 2.12, 1.87, respectively) and 2- to 4-year DFS (OR 1.85, 1.24, 1.67, respectively). Subgroup analysis showed significant survival benefit with aTACE in microvascular invasion (MVI)-positive HCC, portal venous tumour thrombus (PVTT) that does not involve the main trunk, PVTT-negative, satellite nodules, with and without resection margin < 1 cm. No mortalities were reported with aTACE. CONCLUSION: Post-operative aTACE is safe and improves overall and disease-free survival, with the greatest benefit in MVI-positive patients. The current evidence weakly supports the use of adjuvant TACE for patients without PVTT, with PVTT that does not involve the main trunk, with and without a resection margin < 1 cm, and patients with satellite nodules. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level 1.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: This systematic review and meta-analysis investigated risk factors for pneumothorax following CT-guided percutaneous transthoracic lung biopsy. METHODS: A systematic search of nine literature databases between inception to September 2019 for eligible studies was performed. RESULTS: 36 articles were included with 23,104 patients. The overall pooled incidence for pneumothorax was 25.9% and chest drain insertion was 6.9%. Pneumothorax risk was significantly reduced in the lateral decubitus position where the biopsied lung was dependent compared to a prone or supine position [odds ratio (OR):3.15]. In contrast, pneumothorax rates were significantly increased in the lateral decubitus position where the biopsied lung was non-dependent compared to supine (OR:2.28) or prone position (OR:3.20). Other risk factors for pneumothorax included puncture site up compared to down through a purpose-built biopsy window in the CT table (OR:4.79), larger calibre guide/needles (≤18G vs >18G: OR 1.55), fissure crossed (OR:3.75), bulla crossed (OR:6.13), multiple pleural punctures (>1 vs 1: OR:2.43), multiple non-coaxial tissue sample (>1 vs 1: OR 1.99), emphysematous lungs (OR:3.33), smaller lesions (<4 cm vs 4 cm: OR:2.09), lesions without pleural contact (OR:1.73) and deeper lesions (≥3 cm vs <3cm: OR:2.38). CONCLUSION: This meta-analysis quantifies factors that alter pneumothorax rates, particularly with patient positioning, when planning and performing a CT-guided lung biopsy to reduce pneumothorax rates. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: Positioning patients in lateral decubitus with the biopsied lung dependent, puncture site down with a biopsy window in the CT table, using smaller calibre needles and using coaxial technique if multiple samples are needed are associated with a reduced incidence of pneumothorax.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) guidelines recommend ultrasound screening in high-risk patients. However, in some patients, ultrasound image quality is suboptimal due to factors such as hepatic steatosis, cirrhosis, and confounding lesions. Our aim was to investigate an abbreviated non-contrast magnetic resonance imaging (aNC-MRI) protocol as a potential alternative screening method. METHODS: A retrospective study was performed using consecutive liver MRI studies performed over 3 years, with set exclusion criteria. The unenhanced T2-weighted, T1-weighted Dixon, and diffusion-weighted sequences were extracted from MRI studies with a known diagnosis. Each anonymised aNC-MRI study was read by three radiologists who stratified each study into either return to 6 monthly screening or investigate with a full contrast-enhanced MRI study. RESULTS: A total of 188 patients were assessed; 28 of them had 42 malignant lesions, classified as Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System 4, 5, or M. On a per-patient basis, aNC-MRI had a negative predictive value (NPV) of 97% (95% confidence interval [CI] 95-98%), not significantly different in patients with steatosis (99%, 95% CI 93-100%) and no steatosis (97%, 95% CI 94-98%). Per-patient sensitivity and specificity were 85% (95% CI 75-91%) and 93% (95% CI 90-95%). CONCLUSION: Our aNC-MRI HCC screening protocol demonstrated high specificity (93%) and NPV (97%), with a sensitivity (85%) comparable to that of ultrasound and gadoxetic acid contrast-enhanced MRI. This screening method was robust to hepatic steatosis and may be considered an alternative in the case of suboptimal ultrasound image quality.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: This study investigates the outcomes and safety of 70-150 µm and 100-300 µm doxorubicin drug-eluting bead transarterial chemoembolisation (DEB-TACE) in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS: Retrospective, cohort study of 51 patients treated with DEB-TACE for unresectable HCC was studied: 23 with 100-300 µm particles and 28 with 70-150 µm particles. Overall, survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), tumour response and prognostic factors were assessed. RESULTS: The median OS of the entire cohort was 30 months. The median OS and median PFS for 70-150 µm particles were not reached, whilst for the 100-300 µm group, it was 29.2 months and 15.0 months, respectively. The 6-month, 1-year and 2-year OS for 70-150 µm was 96%, 86% and 85% versus the 100-300 µm particles size of 83%, 64% and 44%, respectively. At 1-month follow-up, patients treated with 70-150 µm had significantly better mRECIST tumour response compared to 100-300 µm (complete response 38.5% vs. 19%; partial response 57.7% vs. 42.9%; stable disease 0% vs. 4.8%; progressive disease 3.8% vs. 33.3%, P = 0.027). Patients treated with 100-300 µm DEBs were significantly more likely to have progressive disease on 1-month follow-up imaging compared those treated with 70-150 µm DEB sizes (odds ratio 7.15, P = 0.007). The 30-day mortality rate was similar between the two groups (3.6% for 70-150 µm vs. 4.3% for 100-300 µm). Multivariate analysis demonstrated entire cohort OS was significantly associated with BCLC stage (aHR: 10.5, P = 0.002), albumin (aHR: 15.0, P = 0.02) and ALP (aHR 62, P = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: DEB-TACE with 70-150 µm particles demonstrates improved 1-month objective tumour response compared to 100-300 µm, whilst having a similar safety profile. Elevated ALP, lower albumin and higher BCLC stage were significantly associated with poorer survival outcomes.

RESUMO

This systematic review and meta-analysis investigated post-biopsy manoeuvres to reduce pneumothorax following computed tomography-guided percutaneous transthoracic lung biopsy. Twenty-one articles were included with 7080 patients. Chest drain insertion rates were significantly reduced by ninefold with the normal saline tract sealant compared to controls (OR 0.11, 95% CI 0.02-0.48), threefold with the rapid rollover manoeuvre to puncture site down (OR 0.34, 95% CI 0.18-0.63), threefold with the tract plug (OR 0.33, 95% CI 0.22-0.48) and threefold with the blood patch (OR 0.39, 95% CI 0.26-0.58). The absolute chest drain insertion rates were the lowest in the normal saline tract sealant (0.8% vs 7.3% for controls), rapid rollover (1.9% vs 5.2%), deep expiration and breath-hold on needle extraction (0.9% vs 1.8%) and standard rollover versus no rollover (2.6% vs 5.2%). These findings highlight post-biopsy manoeuvres which could help reduce pneumothorax and chest drain insertions following lung biopsies. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level 1/no level of evidence, systematic review.
