Table 3.
Values (mean±standard deviation) at mid-course of neoadjuvant chemotherapy for good and poor responders
Good responders (n=14) | Poor responders (n=12) | P-valuea | |
---|---|---|---|
ADC1 | 1.49±0.32 | 1.51±0.19 | 0.297 |
ADC2 | 2.00±0.29 | 1.77±0.25 | 0.046 |
ADC2−ADC1 | 0.51±0.23 | 0.26±0.28 | 0.015 |
(ADC2−ADC1)/ADC1 | 0.37±0.20 | 0.18±0.19 | 0.015 |
There is a significantly higher increase in the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) from baseline to mid-course treatment in the good responders group
