Abstract
PURPOSE: Preoperative MRI detection of post-laminar optic nerve invasion (PLONI) offers guidance in assessing the probability of total tumor resection, an estimation of the extent of surgery, and screening of candidates for eye-preserving therapies or neoadjuvant chemotherapies in the patients with retinoblastoma (RB). The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of MRI for detecting PLONI in patients with RB and to demonstrate the factors that may influence the diagnostic performance. METHODS: Ovid-MEDLINE and EMBASE databases were searched up to January 11, 2020, for studies identifying the diagnostic performance of MRI for detecting PLONI in patients with RB. The pooled sensitivity and specificity of all studies were calculated followed by meta-regression analysis. RESULTS: Twelve (1240 patients, 1255 enucleated globes) studies were included. The pooled sensitivity was 61%, and the pooled specificity was 88%. Higgins I2 statistic demonstrated moderate heterogeneity in the sensitivity (I2 = 72.23%) and specificity (I2 = 78.11%). Spearman correlation coefficient indicated the presence of a threshold effect. In the meta-regression, higher magnetic field strength (3 T than 1.5 T), performing fat suppression, and thinner slice thickness (< 3 mm) were factors causing heterogeneity and enhancing diagnostic power across the included studies. CONCLUSIONS: MR imaging was demonstrated to have acceptable diagnostic performance in detecting PLONI in patients with RB. The variation in the magnetic field strength and protocols was the main factor behind the heterogeneity across the included studies. Therefore, there is room for developing and optimizing the MR protocols for patients with RB.
