Table 1 Correlation of imaging and pathology with with overall survival; (R, Spearman correlation coefficient; kPa, kilopascals)
From: Immunotherapy response evaluation with magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) in advanced HCC
Variable | Average | Range | Correlation with Overall Survival (R) | P-value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Baseline HCC size (cm) | 4.0 | 1.5–8.5 | 0.32 | 0.4 |
Change in HCC size (cm) | - 0.32 | [− 2.2] - 0.4 | 0.21 | 0.58 |
Baseline HCC stiffness (kPa) | 5.0 | 2.4–9.1 | - 0.66 | 0.055 |
Change in HCC stiffness (kPa) | 0.12 | [− 2.1] – 2.8 | 0.81 | 0.008 |
Non-tumor liver stiffness (kPa) | 3.2 | 2.1–4.3 | - 0.65 | 0.056 |
