چکیده

conclusions adc valuecould be a prognostic factor to monitor the response to therapy for patients with cervical cancer. the addition of dw-mri to the conventional mri protocolsconsiderably improved the diagnostic ability of mr imaging method for tumor evaluations. results studies had shown thatthe mean adc value of cervical carcinoma (1.110 ± 0.175 × 10-3 mm2/s)is significantly lower than that of normal cervical tissue (1.593 ± 0.151 × 10-3 mm2/s) (p < 0.001). the mean adc value of the cervical area significantly increased after chemoradiationtreatment (1.436 ± 0.129 × 10-3 mm2/s) than that before therapy (1.013 ± 0.094 × 10-3 mm2/s) (p < 0.001). there is a statistically significant difference between the adc values of the normal cervical tissue and cervical area after therapy (p < 0.01). partial response of the bulky tumorscould be predicted with high sensitivity (85.7%) and specificity (100%) (auc 0.96; p = 0.05) using the adc value greater than 0.95 ×10-3 mm2/s. objectives in this paper, thecapability of adc valueto monitor the treatmentresponse in the cervical cancer patientswasevaluated. methods a computerized search using the databases sid, google scholars, pub med and science direct, covering the period from 1998 to 2015, was conducted using the following key search terms: “treatment response”, “diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging”, “adc”, “mri” and “cervical cancer”. in total, 27 relevant papers were reviewed. background cervical cancer is the second common cancer and the third reason of mortality among women in the world which is often occurred in third and fifth decades of their life. cervical tumor recurrence observed in 30% of the patients and the 5-years survival rate of cervical cancer is about %50. the development of a rapid and non-invasive method for treatment response evaluation is one of the most challenges in cancer treatment management.diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (dw-mri) is a contrast agent free imaging technique thatis widely used for oncology studies.

additional value of diffusion-weighted imaging to evaluate prognostic factors of breast cancer: correlation with the apparent diffusion coefficient

results a low adc value was associated with lymph node metastasis (p < 0.01) and with high ki-67 protein levels (p = 0.03). there were no significant differences in the adc values among the histological grade (p = 0.48), molecular subtype (p = 0.51), tumor size (p = 0.46), and p53 protein level (p = 0.62). conclusion the pre-operative use of the 3.0 tesla dwi could provide information about the...

Role of Apparent diffusion coefficient value in Diffusion Weighted imaging of MRI to assessment of radiotherapy efficiency in the patient with glioma tumor during treatment

Introduction: Glioma is the most common primary malignancy of cerebral neoplasms in adults, which in spite of therapeutic significant efforts, has a very poor prognosis. The current standard treatment of these patients generally includes surgery and radiotherapy or concurrent chemoradiotherapy with 6 courses of adjuvant use of temozolomide tabs. During these years, the nervous...

Additional Value of Diffusion-Weighted Imaging to Evaluate Prognostic Factors of Breast Cancer: Correlation with the Apparent Diffusion Coefficient.

BACKGROUND Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease with diverse prognoses. The main prognostic determinants are lymph node status, tumor size, histological grade, and biological factors, such as hormone receptors, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), Ki-67 protein levels, and p53 expression. Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) can be used to measure the apparent diffusion coefficient ...

Apparent diffusion coefficient measurement covering complete tumor area better predicts rectal cancer response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy

AIM To determine the impact of two apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) measurement techniques on diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance images (DW MRI) on the assessment of rectal cancer response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT). METHODS ADC values were measured prospectively with two different techniques - the first, which measures ADCs in the most cellular tumor parts, and the second,...
