Values (mean±standard deviation) at the end 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 |
ADC3 | 2.18±0.37 | 1.85±0.22 | 0.014 |
ADC3−ADC1 | 0.72±0.37 | 0.35±0.29 | 0.008 |
(ADC3−ADC1)/ADC1 | 0.54±0.29 | 0.24±0.19 | 0.012 |
There is a significantly higher increase in the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) from baseline to end-course treatment in the good responders group
