To monitor early response for locally advanced cervical cancers undergoing concurrent chemo-radiotherapy (CCRT) by ultrasonic histogram.
B-mode ultrasound examinations were performed at 4 time points in thirty-four patients during CCRT. Six ultrasonic histogram parameters were used to assess the echogenicity, homogeneity and heterogeneity of tumors.
I increased rapidly since the first week after therapy initiation, whereas W, W and A changed significantly at the second week. The average ultrasonic histogram progressively moved toward the right and converted into more symmetrical shape.
Ultrasonic histogram could be served as a potential marker to monitor early response during CCRT.
通过超声直方图监测局部晚期宫颈癌同步放化疗（CCRT）的早期反应。
对34例接受CCRT的患者在4个时间点进行B超检查。使用6个超声直方图参数评估肿瘤的回声性、均匀性和异质性。
自治疗开始后第一周起I迅速升高，而W、W和A在第二周有显著变化。平均超声直方图逐渐向右移动并转变为更对称的形状。
超声直方图可作为监测CCRT早期反应的潜在标志物。
