| Research Abstract |
The efficacy of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) of diffusion weighted MRI and standardized uptake value (SUV) of FDG PET-CT for prediction and early detection of treatment response and patient outcome to chemoradiotherapy in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) was investigated.
The fractional changes in ADC between pre-treatment and during 3 weeks of treatment showed significant correlation with treatment response and patient outcome. In addition, the changes in SUVmax between pre-treatment and after 8weeks of treatment showed significant correlation with patinet outcome. The results suggest that the fractional changes in ADC and the changes in SUVmax are valid imaging biomarker for predicting treatment response and patinet outcome in HNSCC treated with chemoradiotherapy.
