Abstract 5773
Background
Anal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (ASCC) is radically treated by chemoradiotherapy (CRT). The use of DW-MRI as a predictive marker of outcome would enable early individualisation of treatment. We aimed to quantify the changes in mean apparent-diffusion-coefficient (ADCMean) between a DW-MRI at diagnosis and on fraction 8-10 of CRT as a biomarker for cellularity, and correlate these with outcome.
Methods
This prospective study recruited patients with ASCC between October 2014 and November 2017. DW-MRI was performed at diagnosis and after fraction 8-10 of radical CRT. A region of interest (ROI) was delineated for all primary tumours and any lymph nodes >2 cm on high-resolution T2 –weighted images and propagated to the ADC map. A pre-defined cut-off for percentage change in ADCMean (ΔADC) was set at < 20%. Complete response (CR) was assessed 3 months following completion of CRT. Routine clinical follow up data from patients were collected from NHS electronic systems.
Results
Twenty-three of 29 recruited patients underwent paired DW-MRI scans. The median (range) tumour volume was 13.6 cm3 (2.8 cm3 to 84.9 cm3). The median ΔADCMean between scans was 20.7% (95% CI: 12.7%, 34.1%). Nine of 23 (43%) patients had a change of ADCMean <20%. Two patients failed to achieve a CR, with ΔADCMean of 14.6% and 20.3%, respectively. On routine follow up, 2 further patients had relapsed, with ΔADCMean of -1.2% and 6.8%.
Conclusions
In a subset of patients, <20% ΔADCMean on DW-MRI between diagnosis and day 8-10 of CRT was observed. Four patients in the study demonstrated persistent or recurrent disease, all of whom demonstrated an ADC on or below the pre-specified cut-off. Further investigation of the predictive merit of DW-MRI change, and the optimum cut-off is needed in larger cohorts.
