Multiparametric MRI for prediction of treatment response to neoadjuvant FOLFIRINOX therapy in borderline resectable or locally advanced pancreatic cancer.

• Baseline ΔR1 was an independent predictor for tumor response (adjusted odds ratio, 31.07; p = 0.008) and progression-free survival (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.40; p = 0.033) in patients with borderline resectable or locally advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma receiving neoadjuvant FOLFIRINOX therapy. • The criterion of baseline ΔR1 value ≥ 1.31 s-1 allowed for the prediction of favorable tumor response and survival outcome after neoadjuvant FOLFIRINOX therapy.
