There is no correlation between the quantitative DWI-MRI and 18 F-FDG PET/CT parameters derived from 12-week post-CRT studies. These parameters may be independent biomarkers however in this HPV OPC dominant cohort, only selected ADC parameters demonstrated prognostic significance. Study was prospectively registered at http://www.controlled-trials.com/ISRCTN58327080.
