Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) for pretreatment prediction of neoadjuvant chemotherapy response in locally advanced hypopharyngeal cancer.

Conclusion:DCE-MRI especially pretreatment Ktrans can potentially predict the treatment response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy for hypopharyngeal cancer.Advances in knowledge:Few studies of DCE-MRI on hypopharyngeal cancer treated with chemoradiation reported. The results demonstrate that DCE-MRI especially pretreatment Ktrans may be more potential value in predicting the treatment response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy for hypopharyngeal cancer.
