Monitoring Treatment Response With On-board DWI During Neo-adjuvant Chemo-radiation for Rectal Cancer Using Magnetic Resonance-guided-radiotherapy Systems
Summary
feasibility of using a diffusion sequence of a MRgRT system as an early marker of treatment response during nRCT of rectal adenocarcinoma.
Detailed description
feasibility of using a diffusion sequence of a MRgRT system as an early marker of treatment response during nRCT of rectal adenocarcinoma.
Arms & interventions
- DeviceMRI-guided radiotherapy by on-board DWI sequences
The radiotherapy treatment will be delivered on the MRI-guided radiotherapy platform. The on-board DWI sequences will be performed every three fractions in addition to the treatment session and will last approximately 3-4 minutes.
Outcome measures
Primary
Predictive value of Apparent Diffusion Coefficient measured using MRgRT system
Pathological complete response using AJCC criteria
Time frame: At surgery (5 to 10 weeks after completion of chemoradiation)
