Multi-parametric MRI and Dual-energy CT in Patients of Gastric Cancer

Diagnostic Accuracy of Multi-parametric MRI and Dual-energy CT in Gastric Cancer: a Paired Validating Confirmatory Study


Sponsor

The First Affiliated Hospital with Nanjing Medical University

Enrollment

222 participants

Start Date

Nov 1, 2021

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

Accurate preoperative staging of gastric cancer is of major importance for guiding therapeutic decision-making, preventing both under- and over-treatment. The purpose of this study is to investigate the diagnostic performance of the Multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) and dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) in gastric cancer.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study looks at using two advanced imaging techniques — a special CT scan (dual-energy CT) and a multi-parameter MRI — to better assess gastric (stomach) cancer before surgery. The goal is to improve how accurately doctors can stage the cancer and plan treatment without needing additional invasive procedures. **You may be eligible if...** - You have been diagnosed with stomach cancer confirmed by a tissue sample (biopsy) - You have not yet had any treatment for your stomach cancer - You are scheduled to have both a dual-energy CT and MRI scan before surgery - You are able to give informed consent **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have already had surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation for this cancer - You have conditions that prevent you from having a CT or MRI scan (e.g., certain metal implants, severe claustrophobia, or kidney problems preventing contrast dye use) - You are unable to consent to participate Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
