Abstract:
Objective To observe the evaluation of early chemoradiotherapy efficacy in uterine cervical cancer by different b-value combination.Methods Thirty uterine cervical cancer patients who were treated with chemoradiotherapy received conventional MRI and diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) before treatment,after 2 weeks treatment and after treatment.The patients were divided into complete remission (CR) group (15 cases),partial remission (PR) group (9 cases),stable disease (SD) group (6 cases) according to the changes in tumor size after 9 months of treatment.The tumor size and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) of uterine cervical cancer were measured at each examination among the 3 groups.All ADC were calculated with b =0,600 s/mm2 and b =0,1000 s/mm2.According the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve,chemoradiotherapy efficacy and prognosis value of different b-value of ADC chart in uterine cervical cancer were compared.Results There were no significant differences in ADC of b =0,600 s/mm2 ADC chart and b =0,1000 s/mm2 ADC chart before treatment and after 2 weeks treatment in the 3 groups (P＞ 0.05).ADC increase rate after 2 weeks treatment in CR group was significantly higher than that in PR group and SD group (0.35 ± 0.10 vs.0.22 ± 0.10 and 0.21 ± 0.08,0.28 ± 0.08 vs.0.14 ±0.04 and 0.16 ± 0.02,P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference between PR group and SD group (P ＞0.05).The decrease rates of tumor diameter after 2 weeks treatment in CR,PR and SD group were 0.36 ±0.18,0.33 ± 0.17 and 0.24 ± 0.09,there were no significant differences (F=1.151,P ＞ 0.05).After 2 weeks treatment,at b =0,600 s/mm2 ADC chart,when liminal value of ADC was 0.211 × 10-3 mm2/s,ROC area under curve was 0.976,sensitivity was 85.6％,specificity was 100.0％; at b =0,1000 s/mm2 ADC chart,when liminal value of ADC was 0.181 × 10-3 mm2/s,ROC area under curve was 0.979,sensitivity was 85.6％,specificity was 100.0％.The accuracy of two kinds of ADC chart evaluation of uterine cervical cancer early chemoradiotherapy efficacy was higher,and the effect was similar.Conclusion The ADC increase rate after 2 weeks treatment can be used to predict the early chemoradiotherapy efficacy of uterine cervical cancer,and the value of two kinds of ADC chart of different b-value is similar.
