概要 Objective:
To probe the utility of dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) parameters in assessing the clinical characteristics of oral squamous cell carcinoma.
Methods:
A total of 85 tumours were in...cluded. We applied the Tofts and Kermode model for the DCE-MRI data and obtained three dependent parameters: the influx forward volume transfer constant into the extravascular extracellular space (EES) from the plasma (K^<trans>), the fractional volume of EES per unit volume of tissue (v_e) and the fractional volume of plasma (v _p). We evaluated the correlations between these parameters and the clinical stages.
Results:
The T stage showed a negative correlation with the K^<trans> (r = −0.2272; p = 0.0365), but it did not show a significant correlation with the other parameters. The N stage showed a negative correlation with K^<trans> (r = −0.1948; p = 0.0404), and there were significant differences between N1 and N2+3 (0.119 ± 0.027 vs 0.096 ± 0.023 min^<−1>; p = 0.0198) and between N0 and N2+3 (0.114 ± 0.29 vs 0.096 ± 0.023 min^<−1>; p = 0.0288).
Conclusion:
A decrease in the K^<trans> at the primary site was found in advanced N stage cases, which might indicate that the hypoxic status cause a high possibility of the metastasis.
Advances in knowledge:
A decrease in the K^<trans> at the primary site suggested the high possibility of an advanced N stage.
