Abstract:
Objective To explore the application value of multiphase dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (MDCE-MRI) in the early chemoradiation efficacy in cervical cancer.Methods Twenty-one patients with cervical cancer received chemoradiation.Routine MR scan and MDCE-MRI scan were examined at different stages, including pre-treatment, 15 days,1 month and 2 months after treatment.According to volume change of the tumor after treatment, the cases were mainly divided into complete remission(CR), partial remission (PR).The correlation between volume change of cancer after treatment and the time-signal intensity curve (TIC),mean time to enhancement(MTE),time to peak(TTP),maximum slope of increase(MSI),maximum slope of decrease(MSD), negative enhancement integral (NEI) were analysed.Results After system chemoradiation for 2 months,4 of enrolled patients got complete remission and 17 partial remission.The reduction rate of the tumor diameter was negatively correlated to MSI values(r=-0.877,P<0.05) and positively related with NEI (r=0.819,P<0.05) before the treatment.15 days after the treatment, the diminished rate of the tumor diameter had active relation with change of TTP(r=0.765,P<0.05) and NEI(r=0.775,P<0.05).It indicated that MSI and NEI values before cervical cancer chemoradiation and the variation of TTP and NEI after treatment for 15 days could help predict the variation tendency of cancer diameter.Chemoradiation and therapy 1 month later,for all the parameters'' AUC values,the change rate of NEI were the largest one.When the critical value was not less than 96.46%, the sensitivity was 82.4%, specificity was 75%.TIC curve of type Ⅰ increased, type Ⅲ decreased to disappear gradually.Conclusion MDCE-MRI can be used to predict the efficacy of chemoradiation in cervical cancer patients, of which the MSI, TTP and NEI are more sensitive.
