This study investigated the changes in DCE-MRI
parameters due to induction chemotherapy for head and
neck squamous cell carcinoma. In RECIST responders,
extravascular-extracellular volume was significantly
different before and after therapy whereas in
non-responders it was not. A third examination at the
end of therapy, long-term followup and histological
markers of hypoxia might reveal further correlations
with early imaging.
