The Diagnostic Value of MR Imaging in Determining the Lymph Node Status of Patients with Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer: A Meta-Analysis

Abstract: Purpose To summarize existing evidence of thoracic magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in determining the nodal status of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with the aim of elucidating its diagnostic value on a per-patient basis (eg, in treatment decision making) and a per-node basis (eg, in target volume delineation for radiation therapy), with results of cytologic and/or histologic examination as the reference standard. Materials and Methods A systematic literature search for original diagnostic studies was perf… Show more

“…This serum-based approach is advantageous than biopsy, an invasive procedure that serves as the main tool for lung cancer risk assessment. In addition, this serum-based miR-96 biomarker may even serve as an alternative to other imaging modalities, such as computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, the clinical utility of which is impaired by their high cost and ineffectiveness to determine lung cancer risk [19][20][21][22]. Our results concur with previous studies showing that other miRNA families, such as the miR-200 family, within circulating exosomes possess both diagnostic and prognostic relevance in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer [23].…”

“…25) Recently, the diagnostic capability of MRI has developed and two articles of meta-analysis reported that DWI was effective for the evaluation of N factor of lung cancer. 26,27) Meta-analysis of the MRI by Peerlings et al 26) revealed high diagnostic capability that the sensitivity was 0.87, the specificity 0.88 for nodal assessment in the non-small-cell lung cancer.…”

“…[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] Many have combined multiple cancer types in one single meta-analysis. [9][10][11]13,14,16,17 Those meta-analyses considering the staging of only lung cancer have limited themselves to the detection of bone 12,15 or nodal [18][19][20] metastasis. No meta-analysis has considered colon cancer in isolation, and the largest study to date recruited just 20 participants.…”
