PDFAbstract
Objective To review the diagnostic value of PET or PET/CT for residual/ recurrent head neck squamous cell carcinomas systematically. Methods We searched PubMed, The Cochrane Library, CNKI, WanFang Data, VIP, CBM and EMbase from inception to August, 2016. Two reviewers screened literature according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracted data, and assessed the quality of included studies. MetaDiSc 1.4 was used to conduct the meta-analysis. Results Fifteen studies were finally included. For residual/recurrent disease at the primary site, the pooled analysis shown: SEN =0.81[95%CI(0.74,0.86)], SPE =0.81[95%CI(0.78,0.86)], +LR=4.55[95%CI(2.65,7.81)], -LR=0.25[95%CI(0.15,0.43)], DOR=23.42[95%CI(11.45,47.93)] and SROC AUC=0.90. For residual/recurrent disease at the neck nodes, the pooled analysis shown: SEN =0.74[95%CI(0.62,0.83)], SPE=0.88[95%CI(0.84,0.91)], +LR=6.05[95%CI(2.75,13.33)], -LR=0.38[95%CI(0.23,0.64)], DOR =23.40[95%CI(6.20,88.35)] and SROC AUC=0.87. Conclusion PET and PET/CT are highly accurate in detecting residual/recurrent HNSCC.
