Nine soft-tissue sarcoma patients underwent DCE-MRI scans during the course of a phase I trial of antiangiogenic potentiatiated preoperative chemoradiotherapy. MRI data were acquired before therapy, after two weeks of antiangiogenic therapy only, and after eight more weeks of antiangiogenic therapy plus chemoradiotherapy. The % changes in tumor ROI and histogram median Ktrans values after two weeks provided superior early prediction of therapy pathologic response compared to those in tumor size, ADC, and other DCE-MRI parameters. ROI and median Ktrans changes after two weeks also exhibited a linear relationship with the % necrosis at surgery after ten weeks.
