1 Multi-parametric MRI for Radiotherapy Response Prediction in Rectal Cancer Dr Trang Pham Radiation Oncologist PhD Supervisors: Prof Barton, A/Prof Liney, Dr K Wong

2 Current Status in Locally Advanced Rectal T2-weighted MRI Cancer Advances Chemoradiotherapy and TME surgery LRR (20-30% 7-10%) pcr = 15%-27% MRI (morphologic) - soft tissue definition and local staging Limitations Variable treatment response (25-45% minimal response) 45% require permanent colostomy McCarthy Cochrane Review 2012 Valentini IJROBP 2001, JCO 2011 Zeestraten Sem Rad Onc 2012

3 Functional MRI for Radiotherapy Response Prediction Diffusion MRI Tumour Cellularity Perfusion MRI Tumour Vascularity 3D Analysis Tumour Heterogeneity Radiotherapy Response Prediction Good Responder Poor Responder Avoid Surgery Wait-and-watch Intensification/ Alteration treatment

4 Clinical complete response Wait-and-watch Study Median follow-up Local recurrence UK OnCoRe* (2015) 33 months 44/129 (34%) Brazil* (Habr-Gama 2011) 65 months 8/173 (5%) Netherlands (Maas 2011) 25 months 1/21 (5%) US MSKCC (2012) 28 months 6/32 (19%) *Complete response: DRE and Endoscopy Absence of residual ulceration, stenosis, or mass MRI normal imaging of (meso)rectum not standardized

5 Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI) Movement of water in tissue Tumour Restricted Diffusion Low Normal Tissue Free Diffusion High Tumour Cellularity Distinguish between viable tumour and necrosis Radiotherapy response prediction
