Tumor necrosis in magnetic resonance imaging predicts urothelial carcinoma with squamous differentiation in muscle-invasive bladder carcinoma
2024
Overview
PurposeThis study investigated radiologic features on preoperative MRI to differentiate urothelial carcinoma with squamous differentiation (UCSD) from conventional urothelial carcinoma (UC) in muscle-invasive bladder carcinoma.MethodsNinety-nine patients who underwent radical cystectomy and a preoperative bladder MRI scan within three months before surgery were retrospectively enrolled. Various MRI features, including tumor length, location, multiplicity, long-to-short axis ratio, morphology, radiologic stage, and degree of severe necrosis, were analyzed. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to identify MRI features predictive of UCSD. The diagnostic performance of a significant MRI feature was assessed using 5-fold cross-validation.ResultsAmong the MRI features, significant radiologic findings associated with UCSD in the univariable analysis included heterogeneous tumor signal intensity in T2-weighted images (odds ratio [OR], 3.365; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.213–9.986; P = 0.022) and contrast-enhanced T1-weighted images (OR, 4.428; 95% CI, 1.519–12.730; P = 0.007), as well as marked (≥ 50%) severe necrosis (OR, 17.100; 95% CI, 4.699–73.563; P < 0.001). In the multivariable analysis, marked (≥ 50%) severe necrosis (odds ratio [OR], 13.755; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.796–89.118; P = 0.004) was a significant predictor of UCSD. Marked (≥ 50%) severe necrosis showed a high specificity of 95.0% with a precision of 65.0% for diagnosing UCSD based on 5-fold cross-validation.ConclusionPreoperative bladder MRI revealing marked severe necrosis may be indicative of UCSD and can assist in distinguishing it from conventional UC.
