Prediction of Early Response to Chemotherapy in Lung Cancer by Using Diffusion-Weighted MR Imaging
نویسندگان
چکیده
PURPOSE To determine whether change of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value could predict early response to chemotherapy in lung cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-five patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer underwent chest MR imaging including DWI before and at the end of the first cycle of chemotherapy. The tumor's mean ADC value and diameters on MR images were calculated and compared. The grouping reference was based on serial CT scans according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors. Logistic regression was applied to assess treatment response prediction ability of ADC value and diameters. RESULTS The change of ADC value in partial response group was higher than that in stable disease group (P = 0.004). ROC curve showed that ADC value could predict treatment response with 100% sensitivity, 64.71% specificity, 57.14% positive predictive value, 100% negative predictive value, and 82.7% accuracy. The area under the curve for combination of ADC value and longest diameter change was higher than any parameter alone (P ≤ 0.01). CONCLUSIONS The change of ADC value may be a sensitive indicator to predict early response to chemotherapy in lung cancer. Prediction ability could be improved by combining the change of ADC value and longest diameter.

Alteration of MR-DWI/ADC before and 24h after induction of chemotherapy in patients with lung cancer
Background Diffusion weighted MRI (MR-DWI) is frequently used in oncologic therapy monitoring as it is known to predict therapy response much earlier, than measurements of tumour size alone. In several studies the outcome of chemotherapeutic treatment of brain, soft tissue, bone, breast and prostate tumours was predicted by changes in MR-DWI. Usually, follow-up studies 2 to 4 weeks after induct...

Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women and is the second leading cause of cancer death (after lung cancer) in people throughout the world. Today, MRI is being used because of the limitations of x-ray mammography to detect breast cancer. Non-contrast sequences were associated to CE sequences in a breast MRI protocol for the sake of appraising morphologic ...
متن کاملEarly prediction of response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with breast cancer using diffusion-weighted imaging and gray-scale ultrasonography
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) is a widely accepted therapeutic option for patients with breast cancer. Although NACT produces good results for breast cancer patients, it has the potential to delay effective treatment in patients with chemotherapy-resistant breast cancer. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the utility of the pretreatment apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), whic...
