Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

The primary endpoint of the study is pathological response (pCR) prediction with PET/MRI.
Week 29 - Week 31

A 3-point scale will be used on PET/MRI assessment. When PET and MRI are concordant, the score remains unchanged. When MRI or PET are discordant, but one modality is definitive for complete response (e.g., MRI showing low intensity crescent at site of tumor or no uptake is identified on corresponding location on PET), a tumor regression grade (TRG) score of 1 will be assigned.

Correlation between PET/MRI reported pCR and complete(pCR) or incomplete response(non-pCR) to total neoadjuvant therapy determined by final pathology will be defined.
Week 31

The pathologic response to the total neo-adjuvant therapy will be assessed generally using classification of tumor regression grade (TRG) defined by Mandard et al.

Secondary Endpoints

To evaluate the significance of PET/MRI compared to MRI to predict response to TNT.
Week 29 - Week 31 (1 - 2 weeks before surgery)
A feasibility study done to evaluate the benefit of using PET/MRI with respect to improved identification of the target and hence target delineation
Week 29 - Week 31 (1 - 2 weeks before surgery)
