Abstract

Objective To explore whether multi-slice spiral CT (MSCT) triple-phase enhanced scanning can preoperatively predict Lauren classification in gastric cancer. Methods 293 patients with gastric cancer who underwent preoperative three-phase enhanced CT were retrospectively recruited. The location, serosal invasion, lymph node metastasis, tumor thickness, volume and CT values in each phase were compared between the three Lauren classification in gastric cancer. Results With regard to the location, lymph node metastasis, tumor thickness and CT values in the portal phase and delayed phase, there were significant differences between the three groups (P<0.05). With regard to the other indexes, there were no significant differences between the three groups (P>0.05). Conclusion Three-phase enhanced MSCT might be used to preoperatively reflect Lauren classification in gastric cancer.
