Diffusion-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging as a Predictor of Outcome in Cervical Cancer After Chemoradiation

The mean ADC value of the primary tumor on pretreatment MRI was the only imaging feature that was an independent predictor of disease-free survival in cervical cancer patients treated with chemoradiation. Further validation will be needed to determine whether ADC values may prove useful in identifying cervical patients at high risk of recurrence.
