To investigate the usefulness of diffusion-weighted MR imaging with ADC value and histogram analysis of ADC in the prediction of response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC).
Fifty-eight consecutive patients with clinical T2-4aN0M0 MIBC who underwent MRI before and after NAC were enrolled in the prospective study. The evaluation of response to NAC was based on the pathologic T (pT) stage after surgery. Patients with non-muscle-invasive residual cancer (pTa, pTis, pT1) were defined as responders, while those with muscle-invasive residual cancer (≥ pT2) were defined as non-responders. The ADC value measured from a single-section region of interest and ADC histogram parameters derived from whole-tumor volume of interest in responder and non-responder were compared using the Mann-Whitney U test or independent samples t test. ROC curve analysis was used to evaluate the diagnostic performance of ADC value and ADC histogram parameters in predicting the response to NAC.
The pretreatment ADC value of responders ([1.33 (± 0.21)] × 10mm/s) was significantly higher than that of non-responders ([1.09 (± 0.08)] × 10mm/s) (P < .001). Most of the pretreatment ADC histogram parameters (Mean, 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th percentiles) of responders were significantly higher than that of non-responders (P < .001). The AUC was highest for the pretreatment ADC value (0.88; 95% confidence interval: 0.77, 0.95; P < .001).
Diffusion-weighted MR imaging with ADC value and histogram analysis of ADC are useful to predict NAC response in patients with MIBC.
探讨扩散加权磁共振成像(MRI)结合表观扩散系数(ADC)值及ADC直方图分析在预测肌层浸润性膀胱癌(MIBC)患者新辅助化疗(NAC)疗效中的作用。
58例连续的临床T2-4aN0M0期MIBC患者在NAC前后接受了MRI检查,纳入前瞻性研究。NAC疗效评估基于术后病理T(pT)分期。非肌层浸润性残留癌(pTa、pTis、pT1)患者定义为反应者,而肌层浸润性残留癌(≥pT2)患者定义为无反应者。使用Mann-Whitney U检验或独立样本t检验比较反应者和无反应者从单层面感兴趣区测得的ADC值以及从全肿瘤感兴趣区得出的ADC直方图参数。采用ROC曲线分析评估ADC值和ADC直方图参数预测NAC疗效的诊断性能。
反应者的治疗前ADC值([1.33(±0.21)]×10⁻³mm²/s)显著高于无反应者([1.09(±0.08)]×10⁻³mm²/s)(P<0.001)。反应者的大多数治疗前ADC直方图参数(均值、第10、25、50、75和90百分位数)显著高于无反应者(P<0.001)。治疗前ADC值的曲线下面积(AUC)最高(0.88;95%置信区间:0.77,0.95;P<0.001)。
扩散加权MRI结合ADC值及ADC直方图分析有助于预测MIBC患者的NAC疗效。
