The
study evaluated the utility of diffusion weighted imaging with apparent
diffusion coefficient on the assessment of tumor heterogeneity for the differentiation
of molecular subtypes in a population of 91 patients with invasive breast
cancer. The authors investigated the use of histogram analysis and visual
assessment of tumor heterogeneity for the differentiation of breast cancer
subtypes derived via immunohistochemistry surrogates. The results obtained
demonstrated that HER-2 enriched tumors had higher ADC values than other tumor
subtypes. It was also demonstrated that histogram analysis and visual
assessment of tumor heterogeneity could not reliably be used to differentiate
tumor molecular subtypes.
