Although MRI accurately detected residual tumor with 87% accuracy, this was still not sufficient to meet clinical demands and differed with tumor subtype. Adjunctive Doppler US in cases that appear to show a complete response on MRI might reduce chances of false negatives and increase the NPV of MRI for predicting residual tumor.
