Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Phosphomonoester (PME) / Phosphodiester (PDE) or alternatively PME / inorganic phospor (Pi) signal ratios, prior to, and after the first cycle of chemotherapy as obtained from 31P-MRS as a function of pathologic non-response and positive lymph nodes. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary study parameters as measured with (DCE-MRI, DWI, CEST-MRI) of the tumor prior to chemotherapy and after the first cycle of chemotherapy: - DCE-MRI: Ktrans and kep values; - DWI: ADC values; - CEST-MRI: magnetisation transfer ratio (MTR) values. | — |
