Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the value of volumetric ADC histogram metrics for evaluating lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI) status in stage I endometrioid adenocarcinoma (EAC). METHODS: Preoperative MRI of 227 patients with stage I EAC were retrospectively analyzed. ADC histogram data were derived from the whole tumor with ROIs drawn on all slices of DWI scans (b = 0, 1000 s/mm2). The Student t-test was performed to compare ADC histogram metrics (minADC, maxADC, and meanADC; 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th percentiles of ADC; skewness; and kurtosis) between the LVSI-positive and LVSI-negative groups, as well as between stage Ia and Ib EACs. ROC curve analysis was carried out to evaluate the diagnostic performance of ADC histogram metrics in predicting LVSI status in EAC. RESULTS: The minADC and meanADC and 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th percentiles of ADC were significantly lower in LVSI-positive EACs compared with those in the LVSI-negative groups for stage I, Ia, and Ib EACs (all p < 0.05). MeanADC ≤ 0.857 × 10-3 mm2/s, meanADC ≤ 0.854 × 10-3 mm2/s, and the 90th percentile of ADC ≤ 1.06 × 10-3 mm2/s yielded the largest AUC of 0.844, 0.844, and 0.849 for evaluating LVSI positivity in stage I, Ia, and Ib tumors, respectively, with sensitivity of 75.4%, 75.0%, and 76.2%; specificity of 80.0%, 83.1%, and 82.1%; and accuracy of 79.3%, 81.5%, and 79.6%, respectively. CONCLUSION: Volumetric ADC histogram metrics might be helpful for the preoperative evaluation of LVSI status and personalized clinical management in patients with stage I EAC. KEY POINTS: • Volumetric ADC histogram analysis helps evaluate LVSI status preoperatively. • LVSI-positive EAC is associated with a reduction in multiple volumetric ADC histogram metrics. • MeanADC and the 90th percentile of ADC were shown to be best in evaluating LVSI- positivity in stage Ia and Ib EACs, respectively.
