Molecular and pathological characteristics of the tumor microenvironment have been shown to cause tumor heterogeneity and variability in therapeutic responses. We used functional MRI to evaluate the changes in tumor microenvironment after treatment with sorafenib and anti-PD-L1 antibody for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The results indicated that DWI-MRI and MRS could dynamically assess microenvironmental changes including tumor necrosis and tumor hypoxia. The findings of this study are conducive to the establishment of an accurate correlation between imaging features-microenvironment characteristics-tumor anti-vascular treatment and immunotherapy, and the realization of scientific and precise individualized treatment of HCC.
