Objective: The aim of this study was to predict response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in patients with locally advanced hypopharyngeal cancer by dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI). Methods: A retrospective study enrolled 46 diagnosed locally advanced hypopharyngeal cancer. DCE-MRI were performed prior to and after two cycles of NAC. The volume transfer constant (K trans ), extracellular extravascular volume fraction (V e ), and plasma volume fraction (K ep ) were computed from primary tumors. DCE-MRI parameters were used to measure tumor response according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors criteria (RECIST). Results: After 2 NAC cycles, 30 out of 46 patients were categorized into the responder group, whereas the other 16 were categorized into non-responder group. Compared with the pretreatment value, the post-treatment K trans and K ep was significantly lower ( P < 0.05), but no significant change in V e ( P > 0.05). Compared with non-responders, a notably higher pretreatment K trans , K ep , lower post-treatment K trans , higher ΔK trans and ΔK ep were observed in responders (all P < 0.05). While the pretreatment V e , post-treatment V e , and ΔV e did not differ significantly ( P> 0.05) between the two groups. The receiver operating characteristic curve analysis revealed that pretreatment K trans of 0.202/min is the most optimal cut-off in predicting response to chemotherapy, resulting in an AUC of 0.837 and corresponding sensitivity and specificity of 76.7%, and 81.1%, respectively. Conclusion: DCE-MRI especially pretreatment K trans can potentially predict the treatment response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy for hypopharyngeal cancer. Advances in knowledge: Few studies of DCE-MRI on hypopharyngeal cancer treated with chemoradiation reported. The results demonstrate that DCE-MRI especially pretreatment K trans may be more potential value in predicting the treatment response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy for hypopharyngeal cancer.
