Integration of quantitative MRI and liver function indices to predict early tumor response after stereotactic body radiotherapy for hepatocellular carcinoma: A prospective study
Early increases in ADC after SBRT of the liver were associated with tumor shrinkage and changes in PIVKA-II, supporting the use of quantitative MRI as an early response biomarker. Larger cohorts with longer follow-up periods are warranted.
