Predictive value of MR spectroscopy lactate/Naa ratio ?
Deviers et al, IJROBP 2014
Surrogate of tumor hypoxia
•
• 4 millions voxels analysed, data from previous trial Zarnestra • Definition of a significant threshold of Lactates/NAA > 0.4 using ROC curves • Statistically significant predictivity for relapse – 71% of voxels with LNR0,4 are contrast enhancing at relapse vs 10% with LNR<0,4. • tendency for EFS
