Evaluation of 18 Fluoro-deoxy-glucose Positrons Emission Tomography Combined With Computed Tomography (18-FDG TEP-CT ) in the Diagnosis of the Degeneration of Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Tumor of the Pancreas
Before surgery is undertaken, a 18 fluoro-deoxy-glucose positrons emission tomography
combined with computed tomography (18-FDG TEP-CT ) will be performed. The primary outcome of
this study is to compare results of the TEP-CT with those obtained by the pathological
analysis of the removed piece of pancreas.
Interventional
Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Diagnostic
Specificity of TEP-CT to point out malignant lesions in pancreas, the gold standard being the anatomopathological analysis of the piece of pancreas removed during the surgery.
TEP-CT of the different 5 parts of the pancreas (head, uncus, isthmi, body and tail) will be interpreted by nuclearity Doctors. TEP-CT will be considered positive if there is a pathological fixation of the 18-FDG , defined as any focal or diffuse fixation of 18-FDG above the background level of fixation in the pancreas. The anatomopathological analysis of the piece of pancreas removed during the ablative surgery will be considered as positive if the degree of dysplasia seen for each part of the pancreas is "infiltrating carcinoma". Results will then be compared in term of specificity.
