Early Alteration in Apparent Diffusion Coefficient and Tumor Volume in Cervical Cancer Treated with Chemoradiotherapy or Radiotherapy: Incremental Prognostic Value over Pretreatment Assessments.

CONCLUSIONS: Among patients with cervical cancer treated with chemoradiotherapy or radiotherapy, early changes in tumor ADCs and tumor volume during treatment are associated with better prognosis. %ADC increase and %Volume reduction during the treatment have an additional prognostic value for predicting tumor recurrence to pre-treatment ADC and tumor volume.
