Decline of Tumor Vascular Function as Assessed by Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging Is Associated With Poor Responses to Radiation Therapy and Chemotherapy

Purpose To investigate whether changes in the volume transfer coefficient (Ktrans ) in a growing tumor could be used as a surrogate marker for predicting tumor responses to radiation therapy (RT) and chemotherapy (CT). Methods and Materials Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-M...
