ESWAN showed a higher rate of angiogenesis of recurrent tumors than radiation necrosis. Observation of susceptibility signals reliably correlates with the increased tumor vascularity, particularly in recurrent tumors. In conclusion, the implemented techniques supply a qualitative method to permit prediction of tumor response. Abundant signals indicated tumor recurrence.
