Abstract

Value of computed tomography (CT) scan and diffusion‑weighted imaging (DWI) in the diagnosis and treatment of esophageal cancer was investigated. Seventy‑eight patients with esophageal cancer treated in Jinan Central Hospital (Jinan, China) from January 2013 to June 2014 were selected. All patients underwent CT scan and DWI examination, and their clinical history data were analyzed. DWI was conducted. The short‑term curative effect and the 3‑year survival rate of patients in the high apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value group and the low ADC value group were compared; ADC values in the complete remission (CR) group and the partial remission (PR) group were compared. The difference in value between the length of esophageal lesions and the length of pathological specimens measured by CT scan was significantly different from that detected via DWI examination with b=600, 800 and 1,000 sec/mm2, respectively (P<0.05). The diagnostic rate of esophageal cancer via CT scan was significantly lower than that via DWI examination (P<0.05). After radiotherapy, the clinical control rate in the high ADC value group was significantly higher than that in the low ADC value group, and the 3‑year survival rate in the former was significantly higher than that in the latter (P<0.05). In the 2nd week during radiotherapy and at the end of radiotherapy, the ADC values in the CR group were significantly higher than those in the PR group (P<0.05). In the 2nd week during radiotherapy and at the end of radiotherapy, ADC values were used to predict the CR rate of radiotherapy for esophageal cancer, and the areas under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were 0.776 and 0.935, respectively. Compared with CT scan, DWI has higher diagnostic rate and higher sensitivity. The length of esophageal tumor measured by DWI is close to that of pathological entity, which can guide the delineation of the target area of esophageal cancer.
