ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
The purpose of this study was to assess the use of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) during DWI for predicting complete pathologic response of rectal cancer after neoadjuvant therapy. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
A systematic review of available literature was conducted to retrieve studies focused on the identification of complete pathologic response of locally advanced rectal cancer after neoadjuvant chemoradiation, through the assessment of ADC evaluated before, after, or both before and after treatment, as well as in terms of the difference between pretreatment and posttreatment ADC. Pooled mean pretreatment ADC, posttreatment ADC, and Δ-ADC (calculated as posttreatment ADC minus pretreatment ADC divided by pretreatment ADC and multiplied by 100) in complete responders versus incomplete responders were calculated. For each parameter, we also pooled sensitivity and specificity and calculated the area under the summary ROC curve.RESULTS:
We found 10 prospective and eight retrospective studies. Overall, pathologic complete response was observed in 22.2% of patients. Pooled mean pretreatment ADC in complete responders was 0.84 × 10-3 mm2/s versus 0.89 × 10-3 mm2/s in incomplete responders (p = 0.33). Posttreatment ADC values were 1.51 × 10-3 mm2/s and 1.29 × 10-3 mm2/s, in complete and incomplete responders, respectively (p = 0.00001). The Δ-ADC percentages were also significantly higher in complete responders than in incomplete responders (59.7% vs 29.7%, respectively, p = 0.016). Pooled sensitivity, specificity, and AUC were 0.743, 0.755, and 0.841 for pretreatment ADC; 0.800, 0.737, and 0.782 for posttreatment ADC; and 0.832, 0.806, and 0.895 for Δ-ADC.CONCLUSION:
Use of ADC during DWI is a promising technique for assessment of results of neoadjuvant treatment of rectal cancer.Palavras-chave
