Dynamic Changes of 3-Dimensional DW-MRI for Primary Tumor and Cervical Lymph Nodes in Head and Neck Cancer During Radiation Therapy: A Phase 2 Prospective Study
Abstract:Purpose/Objective(s): DW-MRI becomes more and more important, recent study find it help to discriminate the metastatic lymph node and distinguish recurrent tumor. However, we still poorly understand the dynamic changes of it during treatment, especially for 3D-apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC). It is urgent to observe the dynamic changes of 3D-ADC for head and neck cancer during radiotherapy, and to investigate the correlation between the changes of ADC, radiation dose and volume reduction.
