Abstract

The ratio of ADC changes (Δ ADC) at 3 weeks of chemoradiotherapy for head and neck carcinoma patients, and T-stage were significantly associated with locoregional control (LRC) in multivariate analysis (p = .001 and .028, respectively). However, there was no significant association between SUV max and LRC. The Δ ADC has a significant prognostic value and shows the most significant association with LRC.
