[Abstract] Objective: To prospectively evaluate the efficacy of pre-treatment DCE-MRI for treatment response to chemoradiotherapy (CRT) of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.Materials and Methods: Thirty-seven patients with confirmed NPC by biopsy pathology underwent MRI plain scan and DCE-MRI before concurrent chemoradiation. Calculate the mean, maximum and minimum area of the semiquantitative parameters. Reexamined those patients with MRI during treatment (receiving dose of 56 Gy) and measure the tumor regression rate respectively. Classified patients into responders and nonresponders, based on RECIST 1.1. Spearman correlation analysis was examed between both pre-treatment mean, hign enhancement and low enhancement area of the semiquantitative parameters and regression rate,respectively. ROC analyses were used to determine the best model to discriminate responders from nonresponders.Results: Among all the parameters, there was a significant negative correlation between tumor regression rate and maximum TTP. When use TTP<65.53s as a cutoff, we observed AUC=0.843 with sensitivity and specificity is 100% and 43.33% respectively in differentiating CR (n=7) from others (n=30).Conclusions: Semiquantitative parameters derive from DCE-MRI before treatment were capable to predict early treatment efficacy during concurrent chemoradiation in nasopharyngeal carcinoma, which has potential to be helpful in individualized therapy.
