ChoSNR and ADC were measured from same voxels in
different breast tumor regions (solid tumor, necrosis
and margin) prior to and after III NACT in 11 LABC
patients (6 clinical responders and 5 non-responders).
In responders, increased ChoSNR with decreased ADC of
solid tumor was observed after therapy. ChoSNR decreased
significantly with no ADC change at tumor margin. At
necrosis no change in ChoSNR or ADC was seen. In
non-responders ChoSNR and ADC did not change in tumor
regions. Positive Pearson correlation between ChoSNR and
ADC change signifies combined utility of both techniques
simultaneously in therapeutic management of breast
cancer.
