Predicting the chemotherapeutic response of colorectal cancer liver metastasis using shear-wave elastography.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The aim of this study was to assess the role of the shear-wave velocity (SWV) value in predicting chemotherapeutic response and progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with colorectal cancer liver metastasis (CRLM).

Methods

In this prospective single-center study, participants with CRLM scheduled for chemotherapy were enrolled between May 2018 and June 2021. SWV measurements were obtained using shear-wave elastography at the CRLM site before and after initiating chemotherapy. Based on the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors, the participants were categorized by chemotherapeutic response into responders (complete remission and partial remission) and non-responders (stable disease and progressive disease).
