Abstract
PURPOSE: To evaluate the value of morphological parameters that can be obtained conveniently by MRI for predicting pathologically complete response (pCR) in patients with rectal cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cohort of 101 patients was examined using MRI before and after Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT). Morphological parameters including maximum tumor area (MTA), maximum tumor length (MTL) and maximum tumor thickness (MTT), as well as cylindrical approximated tumor volume (CATV), distance to anal verge (DTA), and the reduction rates were evaluated by two experienced readers independently. RESULTS: Post-nCRT MTA and MTL, reduction rates and pre-nCRT DTA were proved to be significantly different between pCR and non-pCR with the AUCs of 0.672-0.853. The sensitivity and specificity for assessing pCR were 61.1-89.9% and 59.0-80.7% respectively. No significant correlation between pre-nCRT size measurements and pCR was obtained. CONCLUSION: The convenient morphological measurements may be useful for predicting pCR with moderate sensitivity and specificity. Combining these predictors with the aim of building diagnostic model should be explored.
