The Predictive Value of Early Assessment After 1 Cycle of Induction Chemotherapy with 18F-FDG PET/CT and Diffusion-Weighted MRI for Response to Radical Chemoradiotherapy in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Abstract
The objective of this study was to assess the predictive value of early assessment (after 1 cycle of induction chemotherapy [IC]) with 18F-FDG PET/CT and diffusion-weighted (DW) MRI for subsequent response to radical chemoradiotherapy in locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).
METHODS: Twenty patients with stage III-IVa HNSCC prospectively underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT and DW MRI before and 2 wk after each cycle of IC (first …
