Prognostic value of ADC quantification for clinical outcome in uterine cervical cancer treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy

ConclusionThe percentage change in tumor ADC may be a useful predictor of disease progression and survival in patients with cervical cancer treated with CCRT.Key Points• DWI is widely used as a potential marker of tumor viability.• Percentage change in tumor ADC (ΔADCmean) was an independent marker of PFS, CSS, and OS.• Survival was better in patients with ≥ ΔADCmeancutoff value than with< the cutoff value.
