Table 3. Changes in Volumetric Functional Metrics and Anatomic Metrics.

Parameter Before Treatment After Treatment Median Percentage Change P Value*
Anatomic metric
 RECIST 7.9 cm ± 4.4 7.4 cm ± 4.4 −8.6 <.002
 mRECIST 6.5 cm ± 3.7 5.2 cm ± 3.7 −18.2 <.0001
 EASL 42.2% ± 47.1 25.8% ± 39.1 −47.9 <.0001
Volumetric functional metric
 Volumetric ADC 1.24 × 10−3 mm/sec2 ± 0.313 1.55 × 10−3 mm/sec2 ± 0.417 20.3 <.0001
 Volumetric arterial enhancement 54.2% ± 42.3 31.5% ± 32.6 −33.2 <.0001
 Volumetric venous enhancement 82.5% ± 31.2 60.4% ± 33.7 −16.7 <.0001

Note.—Unless otherwise indicated, data are means ± standard deviations. There were significant changes in tumor size according to RECIST and enhancement according to EASL and mRECIST, but their median percentage change did not fulfill the partial response according to respective criteria.

*

P value indicates changes in pretreatment and 3–4-week posttreatment data analyzed by using a paired Student t test.
