Early Regression Index (ERI A total of 88 patients affected by LACC (FIGO IB2-IVA) and treated with CRT were enrolled. An MRI protocol consisting in two acquisitions (T2-w and DWI) in two times (before treatment and at mid-therapy) was applied. Gross Tumor Volume (GTV) was delineated and ERI ERI This study identified ERI
TL;DR

This study identified ERITCP and Vmid as good predictor of pCR in case of LACC, especially if calculated considering DWI, with results superior to those observed considering T2-w MR images or ADC parameters.
