Brief summary
In this prospective study, the investigators will evaluate and compare the usefulness of functional and volumetric informations obtained by 18F-FDG PET and MRI before and after the palliative chemotherapy with the aim of predicting tumor response and prognosis in patients with advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC).
Detailed description
Study cohort will undergo PET/CT and MRI scans prior to chemotherapy and after the first chemotherapy cycle. MRI scans include DCE-MRI and DWI. The following parameters will be calculated using these values: 1. Metabolic parameters on FDG-PET A. SUV change ratio (SCR) = SUVpost/SUVpre B. MTV change ratio (VCR) = MTVpost/pre C. TLG change ratio = SCR X VCR 2. Perfusion parameters on DCE-MRI A. Kep B. K-trans C. ve 3. Diffusion parameters on DWI A. Mean ADC B. fDM

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| DWI, DCE-MRI, and FDG PET as early predictor for response and prognosis | one year | The primary endpoint of this study is the prediction of one-year overall survival by monitoring the metabolic and functional responses of the tumor following one cycle of chemotherapy. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Correlation among DWI, DCE-MRI, and FDG PET and relationship with prognosis | one year | Correlation among metabolic response, functional response on MRI, and standard anatomic response using the RECIST criteria |
