Our aim was to examine the long-term predictive value of baseline PCT studies for local tumor control and overall survival in SCCA of the upper aerodigestive tract treated with chemoradiotherapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Eighty-four patients with advanced SCCA underwent PCT followed by concomitant chemoradiation. The acquired perfusion maps represented BF, BV, MTT, and PS. Visual analysis of the parametric maps for identification of tumor perfusion patterns was conducted. ROC curves, t tests, and Kaplan-Meier survival curves were plotted for local disease control and overall survival. RESULTS: The median time of local tumor control was 24 months. The BF and PS values were significantly higher in patients who had no recurrence than in those with local failure (P ? .02). The BF and PS were predictive (P ? .0006) but BV and MTT held no significant predictive values for local tumor control. The patients with high BF and PS had a longer local tumor control than the patients with hypoperfused tumors (P = .0007). A visually detected BF-BV mismatch had a sensitivity/specificity of 63%/66% (P = .03) and 59%/69% (P = .03) for local tumor control and OS, respectively. Patients without mismatch lived significantly longer than patients with mismatch (P = .01). CONCLUSIONS: BF, PS, and mismatch of BF-BV are significant predictors of local tumor control after chemoradiation in SCCA of the upper aerodigestive tract. | Source Title: | American Journal of Neuroradiology | URI: | https://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/183917 | ISSN: | 0195-6108 | DOI: | 10.3174/ajnr.A1852 | Rights: | Attribution 4.0 International |
